| Friend -- It's no surprise that professional conspiracy theorists are still on the birth-certificate warpath -- but now elected officials are getting their backs. Yesterday, four Republicans in the New Hampshire State House supported a hearing requested by a group of birthers who want President Obama officially removed from the state's primary ballot. It's not clear whether all this is a smokescreen or whether these dead-enders actually believe this stuff. But they aren't letting the facts get in their way -- one group in Arizona has even demanded that the President "release the microfiche" of his birth certificate. Sadly, I don't have any microfiches on hand, but we have the next best thing: In honor of birthers everywhere, we're re-releasing the campaign's limited-edition "Made in the USA" mugs. Donate $20 or more today and we'll send you one -- complete with a reprint of the President's birth certificate on the side for everyone to see.  Here's what one of the state representatives backing the effort had to say about yesterday's hearing: "I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but even I could take [the long-form birth certificate] apart and see that it was fraudulent." Well, I won't argue with one part of that statement. There's clearly nothing we can do to satisfy this crowd -- or anyone else who insists on wasting time and energy on nonsense like this. But when it starts to make your head hurt, I've found the best remedy is to have some tea in my "Made in the USA" mug. Works like a charm.
