Josh Marshall identifies a new psychological pathology to be submitted for inclusion in the DSM:

TPM is officially announcing the birth of ‘long-form birtherism’. Just as it is widely attested in the sociological literature that messianic and apocalyptic cults frequently become more intense in their belief, the same pattern will now create so-called ‘Long-form birthers’. Normative religious scholars are objecting that a more proper analogy might be to the various sects of Shi’a Islam which believe in different Imams as the final legitimate Imam in the succession of Ali.

Frankly, I think the President’s releasing the “long form” birth certificate was a silly idea.

In usenet lingo, the White House is feeding the trolls. Just makes them hungrier.

These birther trolls already have all the proof they need of Mr. Obama’s illegitimacy in office. In their eyes

    Prez ain’t white.
    That ain’t right.

It is that simple.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
