Birthers Won't Go Away. . .

NO JOKE:

Some obscure author, Jerome Corsi, released this week a new book that the publisher says will be a bestseller "of historic proportions."

The title is "Where's the Birth Certificate?" -- indeed.

Corsi's work is a greatest-hits reel of delusions, ranging from 9/11 conspiracies to claiming that there is an infinite supply of oil in the Earth's core. In 2008, he published a book about Barack Obama claiming, among other things, that he is a secret Muslim;  is secretly anti-military;  has secretly dealt drugs and get this- secretly mind you, supported terrorist actions when he was eight years old. So many secrets!

FactCheck.org called Corsi's work "a mishmash of unsupported conjecture, half-truths, logical fallacies and outright falsehoods."

There's really no way to make this stuff completely go away. The only thing we can do is laugh at it -- and make sure as many other people as possible are in on the joke.
