You know, it’s often not the crime that eventually brings people like Beck down, it’s the coverup. Someone should look into this. I have questions that I just want answered. ---

In case no one has posted it yet, just for giggles, [Barack Obama’s Birth Certificate.](http://fightthesmears.com/articles/5/birthcertificate) The site isn’t pretty as it’s being redone for 2012, but the nuts and bolts are there. Trump and everyone claiming Obama is obscuring his birth certificate are all full of it. I do believe, to his credit, that Mitt Romney has mostly stayed above the fray here, so at least kudos to him. ---

I have questions that I just want answered. Let us not forget that Beck has been fired from Fox despite having the 3rd highest rated show. Perhaps the Fox execs finally started asking questions. Perhaps one of their operatives posed as a pimp and dug up the information. They are not talking, which is very suspicious. ---

Sorry, I don’t have time for you right now as I’m engaged in interesting pursuits at the moment. I’ll try to pop in later to set you straight.

If I’m gonna have to come back and spend time explaining what a very simple news article very clearly said, and engage in the silly word parsing that he clearly has in mind, I’m going to do it at a time when it’s convenient for me. ---
