My official stance on the Obama birth certificate issue is I don’t care. Thus, I haven’t really followed it closely enough to know if there is anything to it, but it does have the whiff of a conspiracy theory. Even if there is something to it, I think the rule that the president has to be a natural born citizen is stupid. What’s it supposed to protect against? Electing someone foreign who doesn’t have America’s interest’s at heart? If someone like that was about to get elected by the American people and the only thing stopping it was a little rule in the Constitution, we’re pretty much screwed already, as there are plenty of people without America’s best interests at heart who are natural born. Frankly, I’m for letting the American people elect whomever they feel like electing.

Furthermore, Obama was elected pretty resoundingly so, it doesn’t help conservatives to try to overturn that on some technicality. We actually have to win on the arguments one of these days.

A Nobel Laureate said he thinks the internet might have stopped Hitler.

Well, the internet didn’t stop Bush.

Bush = Hitler

Ergo, the internet could not stop Hitler.

That’s basic science logic. A Nobel winner should know that. I mean, the internet couldn’t even stop Obama, so how is it going to stop Hitler? Through rude, semi-literate comments on his YouTube videos? Humiliation by LOLcats renderings of his pictures (“mushtash — ur doin it rong!”)? Oh, I know — an internet petition telling him to not kill the Jews.

Know what would have really stopped Hitler? A satellite that shoots lasers from space. That’s what we need to focus on.

Constitution Arms is making a 9mm pistol for the elderly and those with arthritis (it fires using the thumb) and apparently they’ve gotten it classified as a medical device which means a doctor will be able to prescribe it and then medicare or private insurance should pay for it.

DOCTOR: What’s the matter?

PATIENT: I have a cough and I keep getting mugged.

DOCTOR: (writing prescriptions) Here’s something for the cough and here’s something for the muggers. Take the cough medicine once daily. As for the muggers, just apply this directly to their face. Persist until symptoms subside.

And this could also mean a new setup for action movies:

DOCTOR: You seem angry. It’s adversely affecting your blood pressure.

PATIENT: Punks killed my family.

DOCTOR: I recommend vengeance, then. I’m going to write you up a prescription for two guns… oh and something for your joints so you can leap through the air while firing them.
