Stuff you may have missed over the weekend: Letoya Jackson speaks, Eric Holder gets defiant and more
July 13th, 2009 by John Grooms in Boomer with an Attitude
1. La Toya Jackson, in a long, revealing albeit kind of nutty interview with the Daily Mail in London, said she believes Michael Jackson was murdered, and blamed “a shadowy entourage” of greedy, manipulative associates who allegedly worked the guy to death in rehearsals for his planned London shows while keeping him anesthetized enough to carry on.
2. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder is said to be on the verge of defying Pres. Obama’s wishes and asserting his independence (AG’s are supposed to be independent, even though that may be hard to remember after the past eight years). How? By naming a special prosecutor to launch an investigation into the Bush administration’s brutal torture policies. The story was revealed by Newsweek.
3. Wells Fargo is suing itself in its own version of The Twilight Zone. Specifically, WF filed a civil complaint against itself in a foreclosure case in Florida. It turns out WF holds both the first and the second mortgages on a Sarasota condo. Wells Fargo, the owner of the first mortgage, is suing all other lien holders, which includes Wells Fargo, the owner of the second mortgage. If you’re not too confused, you can read about it here.
4. When we want a dose of inanity, we often look to Texas (especially now that California is going down the tubes). Texas rarely disappoints. Example: Gov. Rick Perry announced that he is naming Gail Lowe, a newspaper editor and leading creationist (as in, the Flintstones scenario of a pet dinosaur is real!) to run … ready for it? … the state Board of Education. You know, sometimes you stop, look around and wonder, “When and how did ignoramuses get so much power?” Here’s the scoop.
And here’s an example of life in the old days, as per Ms. Lowe.

If our gitmo stuff was torture then we make a habit of torturing our very own troops, if you try to use Grooms twisted logic. We water board our own guys as a part of their training.
The creationist stuff might seem a bit odd to non-believers but most people in this country and the world think there is some sort of creator. The harmless personal beliefs are merely a side item. What really matters are the kind of results she has gotten educating children. Did she get results? Who knows since Grooms is not interested in results, he is so interested in his own type of dogma he never seemed to get around to the really important stuff.
I read the scoop portion on the teacher subject. The article was about two candidates for the position. One topic that was refered to as a conspiracy theory was.
“She has also endorsed conspiracy theories suggesting President Obama is not a natural-born citizen. ”
Obama has never coughed up his actual birth certificate for some strange reason and has hired lawyers to prevent the release of it and other related documents. Obama went to Pakistan on an indonesian passport. You have to be a indonesian to have an indonesian passport so since we went on said passport he would have had to renounce his citizenship to get that passport. To become a citizen of the USA he would have had to apply for it again when he came of age. There are no records of such a transaction. There are actual court cases that are and have been pending concerning this matter. It shows utter ignorance to dismiss this as a conspiracy theory. The problem is that if it turns out to be true Obama cannot be president and what will happen to all the illegally signed bills that have been put in place. I think we are actually finding out why the constitution requires a natural born citizen and not a citizen of the world like Obama. He has not loyalty to the USA so he is perfectly willing to sell us out.
The other item Grooms anfd the article degrade is that the candidate is not a certified teacher. Its funny how homeschooled children being taught by mothers with no degree actually get great results when they teach, while the actual teachers in our public schools fail miserably year after year. Not being an actual teacher would seem like a resume enhancer in my eyes.
On a side note, teachers in general are at the bottom of the bucket when it comes to college entrance exams. Teachers tend to score in the bottom 25% of all college students.
It feels good to shed some daylight on these issues even if it ruins the liberal parade.

Re: “Obama has never coughed up his actual birth certificate for some strange reason”
Obama has posted and shown to FactCheck and Polifact the only birth certificate that Hawaii currently sends out. http://www.starbulletin.com/features/20090606_kokua_line.html
Re: “and has hired lawyers to prevent the release of it”
No. Not a single case asked for Obama to show his birth certificate. All the cases were to stop the election or to stop the certification of the election.
Re: “Obama went to Pakistan on an indonesian passport.”
NO. He went on a USA passport. He never had an Indonesian passport because he was never an Indonesian citizen. Both the Indonesian government (the Embassy in Washington) and the US State Department have now said that Obama was never an Indonesian citizen. (http://www.obamaconspiracy.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/strunk-answer.pdf)–and look for the answer at 40.
Re: “he would have had to renounce his citizenship to get that passport.”
But he never had an Indonesian passport, and was never an Indonesian citizen, so he never renounced his citizenship.

Sorry dude but you are completely WRONG! What have you been smoking dude!
What Obama submitted was not equivalent toa birth certificate and cannot be used to determine if you are a natural born citizen or not.
He has had to cover all bases related directly or indirectly to the election. The college stuff had to be blocked to keep from proving he is not a citizen. Read some more dude.
It was illegal to go to Pakistan if you were a US citizen in 1981 my friend. So if Barry had a USA Passport he would have been denied entry to the country. Here is a link my silly friend.
