The NEW Conspiracy by Jonah Goldberg:
The New Burning Question

I haven’t studied the just released PDF of Obama’s birth certificate. But assuming there’s nothing in there about a birthmark that resembles the numbers “666” or about how his father worked for the KGB and — of course — assuming that the font in question matches typewriters of the time (Let’s get Dan Rather on that): I figure this puts the birther thing to bed once and for all. Good.
Update: For the record, I don’t actually think this is the “new burning question” in the sense that it must rise to the top of the national conversation. I just think it’s odd. Call it a low simmering question if you must.

Let the birthers run wide open.
HolyCity2012 encourages birthers to express what ever is on their collective mind.
Liberals & Progressives should just stay silent and let this roll.
Trump is a welcome distraction. THE END!
