My inbox is so full of right-wing horseshit this morning that I’m putting it all in one post.
* Joe Arpaio’s posse has determined that Obama’s birth certificate is fraudulent. And the sun rose in the East. Since this isn’t an Aaron Sorkin TV show, the AP reports this as if it is news. (via)
* Senate Republicans killed the Law of the Sea treaty — 34 Republicans oppose it and it takes a 2/3 majority to pass a treaty in the Senate. Here’s my question: is there a treaty that would get a vote from those 34? Xenophobia has become so enshrined in the modern Republican Party that I can’t think of one.
* Joe Patrice does some good work debunking a number of stupid little “libruls are so dumb” ploys that will probably end up on your crazy Fox-watching uncle’s Facebook, so take a look if you have one of those.
