Dispatches from Birtherstan - 13 May 2011

Today's dispatches include some thoughts as to why the birthers can't seem to handle things like reality. Media Matters comments on World Nut Daily and their attempt to keep Swiftboat liar Jerome Corsi's book out of the remainder bin. We have thoughts on birtherism as a faith.

The Pest and eFail goes into conspiracyland again, and continues their tradition of whiney demanding letters. Some observations about now ex-inmate Lakin. "The 4th Awakening" comes up with several excursions into wingnuttia. The Pest and eFail explores record new lows in human decency.

But the most fun comes from a parody article in the San Diego Reader about students proving the long form is a forgery. Despite the other parody articles under the same byline - and a complete lack of facts to support the article, the Pest and eFail, Dr. Orly, Pam Barnett, Gateway Pundit, a lot of freepers, Lucianne, SqueekyFromm, and several conspiracy sites all wet themselves with glee over the news. Complete with epic spinning once it starts to dawn on them it might just be a joke.......
