One of the cheery things about my visit to BookExpo today was that, every time I passed the large-ish WND Press stand (i.e., the stand for the book wing of World Nuts Daily, full of Birther nonsense and even more venomous anti-Obama abuse), it was absolutely deserted except for a couple of depressed-looking staffers.

Current Music: Pam complaining about her "throbbing feet"

Today Pam had another mammoth session at the dentist. As she was having her teeth ultrasounded, the technician mentioned something about Obama being a Muslim. Bollox, said Pam, or as best she could render that sound with her mouth pried open.

The technician followed up with this bit of reasoning: "Once a Muslim, always a Muslim."

So the asshole lies the Palins of this life produced aetat 2008 are current still in 2010, despite having been comprehensively debunked by every nonpartisan news source on the planet and even disavowed by the likes of FAUX News. The Muslim/non-Muslim nature of Obama's education isn't a point up for debate: the indisputable fact of the matter is he was brought up as a Christian. Anyone who says otherwise is either a liar or someone so stupid they believe the kind of liars who in earlier ages sold snake oil.

It makes me weep to think of the long-term damage the media people and politicians who spread these lies are doing to my adopted country, all the time dressing themselves up in this hypocritical cape of "patriotism". They should be ashamed of themselves.

Please excuse the rant.

LATER: PZ Myers discusses a very similar issue here.
