Dispatches from Birtherstan - for 17-19 April 2010

Dispatches from Birtherstan - for 17-19 April 2010

In today's dispatches, Ed Hale is going off half-cocked again. Carl Swensson wants more people to show up at Walter Fitzpatrick's trial - and maybe even get arrested for the same charge as well! Margaret Hemenway is spewing the same lies, as is Dr. Orly. Several reports on Dr. Orly's Quo Warranto dismissal, but Dr. Orly herself remains mostly quiet about it. Joseph Farah of World Nut Daily shows a breathtaking level of sheer hypocrisy even for his fellow birthers and liars. Dr. Orly wants the LA Times to apologize for telling the truth about her. Former Congresscritter Tom Tancredo wants to send Obama back to Kenya. Idaho has more than potatoes - they have wanna be politicians with the IQ of a spud as well. And Dr. Orly wants to find Connie Rhodes because she has a brand new idea to try - claiming sexism against her and Dr. Rhodes as a means to get discovery! Oh, and she's got a week to file a motion for reconsideration with Judge Lamberth. Wonder if she'll use her motion with Judge Land as a template.

What's next, a blow-up Nancy Pearl doll?

Survey: Librarians get frisky in stacks

"A 1992 survey of 5,000 U.S. librarians, long withheld by a professional journal, found one in five respondents had engaged in sexual trysts among the stacks.

Will Manly, who said the New York-based Wilson Library Bulletin withheld the results of his survey in 1992, published results recently on his Web site indicating 51 percent of librarians in the early 90s were willing to pose nude for money and 61 percent of respondents admitting to renting an X-rated film, the New York Daily News reported Monday.

Manly said the survey questions were printed in the now-defunct journal, but bosses withheld the results and fired him for the saucy survey, which he said received 5,000 responses from librarians."
