Presumably, he calls it “_further_ evidence” because it supplements the existing evidence he has discovered in dial tones and cereal box tops.

Well, it’s true. President Obama is a Muslim. Who eats pork and drinks alcohol. And doesn’t ever pray towards Mecca. Never been to Mecca for that matter. Or observe any of the Five Pillars, really. And doesn’t speak Arabic. Oh, and goes to church.

He’s deep, \*deep \*undercover is my point. Them Musselmen can be so fiendishly crafty.
