Oops, She Did It Again (Orly Taitz and the New Kenyan Birth-Cert)
She's produced another "Kenyan Birth Certificate" (the first one having been a fraud, and having been punked by some people who created a 'Kenyan Birth Certificate Generator' so you could punk all of your friends, too.)
What on earth did the woman expect? As it turns out, one of the 'officials' on the first cert was a certain "E.F. Lavender" (they'd taken the name from a popular soap brand).
Not to be deterred, she's filed another lawsuit, this time presenting a cert from a mysterious emailer named "Mr Lucas". This Lucas-fellow (apart from bearing the name of the electronics-company which made the fuel-pump in my MG which went bad so many years ago) has come up with the real deal - at least, according to Taitz and her followers, who are living for the day that someone proves Obama is Not Fit To Lead because his Momma decided to fly to Kenya when she was eight and half months pregnant (?) in order to give birth in a colonial hospital in Mombasa,
Oops. That's right. Mombasa was part of Zanzibar in 1961.
Some other problems with the cert are just as glaring - the date-formats are wrong (they're in U.S. format - MM/DD/YY, rather than the European convention of DD/MM/YY).
Also, most of the 'data' is typed using a space-justified font which was not available until around 1968, courtesy of the IBM Selectrics typewriter.
Dunno whose baby they got to donate the footprint - but that's a cool touch, I'll admit.

When are these people just going to give it a rest, and admit that they're wrong? Not just misinformed, or not possessed of the right documents - but wrong?
Obama is a citizen. If you don't want him in office, you've two routes to go that are legal: Wait for something called an 'election' (that's how we select presidents in this country) in 2012, or ask your Congresscritter to initiate impeachment proceedings.
As to the Justice Department, there's no vast conspiracy - in fact, in refusing to hear these cases, they're doing everyone a favor - because filing a lawsuit isn't the proper venue for this sort of thing, as an individual cannot prove that he or she has been specifically damaged by this process.
Of course, it's a lot more fun for Ms. Taitz, and it certainly is entertaining in a Jerry Springer sort of way - but as I've pointed out in a prior post, it's starting to give the rest of the world the opinion that America is full-to-the-brim with batshit-crazy whackjobs who've nothing better to do with their time than read up on conspiracy theories and mutter incoherently to each other.
Give it a rest. It's not doing anyone any good, and it's not funny any more.
Orly Taitz Floats Another Forged Obama Birth Certificate

She's at it again...
How do we know this is a forgery just like the last one? Because in a lengthy article on the case, WorldNetDaily notes that it “has reported on an authentic 1961-era Kenyan birth certificate, which looks distinctly different from the document Smith released in the video.” Not that this prevented them from headlining the new story “Panic in D.C.?”
