Dispatches from Birtherstan

(We're going to try something a bit different here - I'm going to try for updates every 24-36 hours, real life permitting of course.)

The Honolulu Advertiser reports on birther harassment of State of Hawaii DoH officials. Some CPAC panelists didn't want to get birther kreep all over them. "The Punisher" is devoid of reality or sanity, and one shouldn't play academic scholar if one is going to cite Polarik and Lame Cherry as sources to back up your argument. Mother Jones Magazine covers the "Oath Keepers" in good - and scary - detail. And Dr. Orly goes and whines at the UN.

Recipe of the Day - Chocolate Ramen Cakes

Chocolate ramen cakes

You will need: (For 3 cakes)
- 1 package of ramen noodles (crushed)
- 3 small dessert cupcakes
- 1 cup of cherries
- 1 cup of chocolate dessert fondue
- 1/3 cup of vegetable oil (cooking)

How to cook:

The noodles:
1. While the noodles are still in the package, break them in small pieces.
2. Put the vegetable oil in the cooking pan.
3. Turn on the stove and wait for the oil to heat up.
4. Put your noodles in the cooking pan.
5. Since ramen are dehydrated, you have to be careful not to burn them. Always gently shake the cooking pan.
6. Your noodles are ready once they have a nice brownish color.
7. Turn off the stove and put your noodles in a bowl.

The recipe:
8. Put the 3 cakes in a plate.
9. Add the cherries and the fried ramen on top of the cakes.
10. Pour the chocolate fondue on top of everything.
11. Enjoy!

Dispatches from Birtherstan - for 23 Feb 2010

Whole lotta Orly going on, as Dr. Orly's complaint to the UN has raised some hackles on the far right and a lot of lefts with the birther debunkers. Funny that we haven't seen John Charlton spin it yet, though he's still annoyed it seems over the State of Hawaii not listening to him and following those pesky laws rather than his demands. Jon Levy tries to defend Dr. Orly's behaviour, and I doubt she'll go into an International House of Pancakes anytime soon. Also Sharon Meroni attempts an appeal, and Dr. Orly gives tax advice.
