Just like the hook for the television series Kyle XY -- "He Has No Bellybutton!!!"

But I think it really reflects something FAR more sinister.

If he wasn't a Chupacabra he would have proved it earlier. Why all the delay?

Can you even recall seeing him and a LIVING goat in the same place?

A google image search for Obama AND Goat produces some very unsettling results.

Sad day in the Southeast. I've been glued to coverage of the storms. My hometown got a double whammy yesterday, with serious storms causing a lot of damage in the morning then again in the evening. Thankfully my parent's and brother's homes have no damage but my dad's college is a mess. It's really bad in extreme Northwest, Ga just south of Chattanooga. Last I heard the death toll there was over 20.

But it's still nothing to what they are dealing with in Tuscaloosa. That's really heartbreaking stuff.

Rep. Leo Berman of Tyler (Texas) thinks the president’s recently released birth certificate may be a hoax.

“The birth certificate that I saw today was certainly not 50 years old,” he said. “No matter who produced it, it was a brand new birth certificate."

Rep. Leo Berman of Tyler, Texas can go **** himself.

(See how easy that is? )

We all understand that this is a "certified copy" and not the actual original piece of paper printed in 1961... don't we? You are not allowed to take away your original ANYTHING.

Ignorance on display yet again. Please tell me these people are a true minority. My faith in the American public is being sorely tested.

Those of us who don't use a length of rope to hold our pants up understand it.

A screeching, feces-throwing minority.

The positive thing is their total insanity is a motivator for the politically indifferent like myself to vote against them.

I am 45 miles east of Tuscaloosa. Matter of fact, I live only a five minute drive from Concord, AL and Pleasant Grove,AL which is 2 of the major damage areas in my county in AL. Death toll is over 150 in the state of AL.

Don't mean to cross-post but since not everyone may frequent both this and the TV thread.

Some interesting data on Trump's Celebrity Apprentice. It pretty much has the most liberal audience on TV. The second chart shows the recent ratings decline. I hope there is a special place in hell for Trump wanting so badly to tear this country down.

Based on the psychotic comments, that article must have been linked on several tea people blogs. What a bunch of nuts.

Yes, I too am glad to hear you are doing well Patrick, considering the horrible devastation in your state.

I understand it's his job to protect the people of Missouri... But, um...

*****

A debate over how to stem possible flooding in Illinois and Missouri took an ugly turn this week, as a leading Missouri politician made some crass remarks about the fate of an Illinois town. (Scroll down for video of the controversial remarks.)

Due to high rains, waters at the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers are running dangerously high, and the mayor of Cairo, Illinois, located at the confluence, has asked residents to evacuate the town.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is considering a plan to destroy a levee, which would lower the floodwaters by a few feet and help protect Cairo. But the state of Missouri has vigorously objected to the plan, because it would badly damage around 130,000 acres of farmland, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Missouri's Republican House Speaker Steve Tilley was asked by reporters about the dilemma. "Would you rather have Missouri farmland flooded or Cairo underwater?" Tilley is asked.

Without hesitation, he replies, "Cairo. I’ve been there. Trust me. Cairo.”

As another reporter prepares to ask another question, Tilley goes on. “Have you been to Cairo? OK, then you know what I’m saying then.”

Cairo, Illinois (pronounced KAY-roh) was at the turn of the 20th century a bustling trade center. The 2,800-person town is now largely abandoned, two-thirds African-American, and deeply impoverished: nearly 50 percent of children under the age of 18 in Cairo live below the poverty level.

Ahhh. Pamela Geller. The queen of the "project to build al Queda terrorist training camps on the site of the World Trade Center".

Pamela Gellar can go **** herself. OK. I'll stop.
