You might wonder what this strange title alludes to. And if so, you need to read this:

Apparently, Lou Dobbs is certain that Obama is faking his birth certificate. See, this actually is correct. Sargent Crowley was also right:
1. Just because a black man has an ID, doesn't mean he is actually a Harvard Professor.
2. Just because a black man has a birth certificate, doesn't mean he is an American Citizen either.
Naturally, we need to satisfy (oh God) Lou Dobb's curiosity by going back in time and videographing both the conception and the following delivery of Obama.
So, this is The Lou Dobb's Stimulus Plan:
1. Set off a race similar to the race to the moon for the invention of the time machine that will prove Obama's citizenship.
2. Create a great stimulus in the video recording, storage and playback industry to keep up with "Where American Babies Come From" Act.
I feel sorry for not ever doubting our beloved Bush as being the *est person I have known...
Enjoy!
On a more serious note, this plastic-smeller of the West is actually hosting a show on Obama's birth tonight: http://loudobbs.tv.cnn.com/
Foot Note: Thanks to Sriram Sarma for bringing Lou Dobbs into my world tonight.

Thank You Obama!
[Please click on the following to read original article]
Being an African American President is easy. Being a Democrat President is not. Actually being a Democrat President who is outspoken is not!!!
What am I talking about?
The most recent comments by Obama on the Cambridgate issue. I was impatiently waiting for Obama to say something. I guess we must give the man credit, since he must have been really busy.
What I like is the forceful language. Before seeing Obama's opinions, I was going to blog about the insensitive clowns defending Cambridge PD with the title "This is why they have the word idiot in the English language" (although, that's only partially true, because it is also reserved for murderous Applecustomers).
You can't be disorderly in your own friggin' house anymore?
So, exactly what the hell are the idiots trying to defend Cambridge PD talking about? The old man was in his own house. He may have refused to show his ID, but he eventually did.
Okay, forget the fact that you are incredibly clay-headed enough to not realize that this is a person who has contributed so much to American Society.
He is a real person!
What blows here is - there was absolutely no reason to arrest him.
And Gates is right - because one officer was stupid enough, Gates is now "a man with a criminal record whose mugshots can be seen online".
Where is the fairness in all this?
Exactly at what cost do we start allowing the police defend our homes?
Are we in China or the United States?
Where does this persecution by suspicion end?
Well, at Obama's doorstep.
And once again, "Thank you, El Presidente".

Hey Obama, watch out with those White House gates, they might "call in" about you...
[Please click on the following to read original article]
To all those who thought that racism was over, and it was time to harp about "reverse" racism, here is something to think about. In real life, as in Hogwarts, the magic stops with race and blood.
It is not just disgusting that some woman decided that just because it appeared someone black was trying to break into a house (this woman needs some real help). It is disgusting that police arrived, and despite obviously having found the rather old man (another clue) to be nowhere close to a criminal - arrested him.
Then, and yes, I know, I am repeating stuff you would rather read in a well written, "white" washed (oh, was that a bit mucho?) article, theidiots downtown also did not have the commonsense to apologize and let the man go.
Where they trying to say?
Blacks not welcome here in Cambridge? Or, in our beloved Obama's case, not welcome back?
I don't know about cushy firemen jobs in Connecticut or New Haven, and I do think promoting no one was incredibly stupid and only served to hurt race relations, but we really need action here. I don't think the arresting cop should be fired - his bosses should:
1. They have obviously done a poor job educating their officers on racial and general sensitivity to citizens - I mean come on!
2. They did not intervene and let the poor gentleman go, allowing everyone at the police station believe that it is still A-okay to haul-ass if you can come up with a reason....
And, it proves a point - you may not like Al Sharpton. But he is much needed and I hope he raises some hell at Cambridge.
Maybe a whole bunch of people need to show up at Cambridge and demonstrate that shouting is free speech, especially if you paid the rent or owned the frigging place!

Ha ha ha ha ha..It happens only in India!
Alright, so I was sick and sleepless. Between dead pedophiles pop stars, extremely redundantly hyped, yet to be realized Operating systems, Republicans' parents who like to pimp them, Presidents who ignore the economy and tour nuclear reactors in Russia and a 500 email backlog, I thought nary a blog would emerge from me this week...
But here I am.
So what is all this about?
It is about the recession, I mean the correction, I mean the recession that is just a correction (ask le economists, okay!?).
Apparently Air India is so broke that it has decided to over-fill it's capacity in passengers. So, they stuffed three extra passengers - one in the cockpit, and two in foldable seats for crew members! I wonder where the crew members were going to sit.
Luckily, the flight never took off, and the passengers were transported off on another plane. The rest is not funny, but can be found here:

So what have the republicans been smoking?

It's not enough that Palin and Limbaugh represent the future face of the Party. The Republicans want to take it much further:
One of them propositions men at Airport restroom stalls

One of them flies to Argentina without telling anyone and has an affair or ends an affair or whatever...

Here's a yet-to-be 4th grader that is smarter than your average South Carolina Governor...
So the South Carolina Governor went A.W.O.L. without telling anyone. A fairly inane thing to do and, of course, makes for good, space-filling press fodder. And, I of course have no interest in his whereabouts.
However, look at this kid:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090623/ap_on_re_us/us_utah_boy_found
Upon getting lost, he made himself quite resourceful and made sure he was found as quickly as possible. Two men, separated by age and wisdom. Of course, the wisdom found itself on the wrong side of the stereotypical age!

Stupidity - The new apartment management tool for the recessed economy
All across the country, apartments and independent houses lay barren. Many, especially in places like Michigan have fallen prey to fire, drug sales and so on. I have started noticing apartments giving away free internet access in some cases, in a bid to try and get people to rent space.
All this doesn't hold a candle to what these idiots in Boulder, Colorado are doing to make sure that people continue to rent space from them.
They are harassing their customers with stupid rules.
In a time-worn tradition of picking on the Grandmas and the weak among us, this particular apartment management company was pissed off, apparently by her Easter Decoration which hung for two weeks beyond what the management thought was an appropriate celebration of Jesus's resurrection.
If you looked close at me, you would find no Jesus freak in me, but come on. This is not a one-off incident. Two years ago, in some condominium complex, some Indian Hindu guy had a religious plant and a flag at the back of his house in Florida, and the idiots who called themselves his neighbors went on a 21st century style lynch mob, suing and terrorizing him.
This is one of the main reasons why I don't like apartments, condos and "communities", and hey if the economy screwed them over, it's not much harm done. The sameness of the houses and the pitiable disugised unemployment of pitiable "Property Managers" to enforce nonsensical laws....
Anyway, I am guessing Grandma still may not win. And that, my dears, is what constitutes irony and general sadness. All one can predict is, that with such actions, companies like AIMCO will continue to taste the fruits of the downturn for a long, long time to come.

The City of Bozeman secedes from Iran rescinds acts of insane inanity
Alright! So, "Global Outrage" works. Like someone posted here on Slashdot:
"What else can we start worldwide backlashes against? They seem to f* work."
Well how about one against Indian Government Hospitals? For details, go here
So, what is all the hue and cry about? If you have not read what I posted here yesterday,you have just been downright mean, uninformed and naughty!, based on a stroke of genius, the City of Bozeman decided to capitalize on the unemployment rates of 2009 by demanding that all job applicants stand in the noon sun on one leg and do hops and skips...okay, okay... they decided to require that all applicants submit their Yahoo! Gmail, Facebook, MySpace and other extremely pertinent passwords so that they could judge their applicants' character.
What is the difference you say? (I mean the difference between asking someone to go stand in the sun on one leg and hop/skip..)
Let's just call it the incident. Of course, I leave it up to you to call it the most stupid thing adults could ever do. Just so we are clear, I am not the one calling it, he he.
On some random website whose url was almost all consonants, approximately 6300 people thought Bozeman had been taken over by Bozos, while 45 disagreed promptly and another handful said they couldn't care one way or the other.
Oh come on. I side with the 45 dissident netizens.
After all, which Craigslist Personal Ads you put out there and which ones you respond to will eventually determine how good you are at your job. (It will be if you are a South Carolina Attorney General looking forcheap, borderline-legal publicity).
In any case, the next time I am on my way to Yellowstone, I will stop by Bozeman again. Of course, I will have this big grin...
And it must be party time at Montana's News Station.com (yes, creativity is somehow wanting all over the state, what with all the hitherto-unseen-herewith-unforeseeable page hits:

How to take advantage of potential employees in a bad economy, brought to you by Bozeman, MT
You have to love driving through some of these towns. So, once on my winter trip to the Yellowstone, I actually stayed in this town. So, it's good to know how bad they like to treat people.
What is up withIdiot Station Central, I mean Bozo-town, er, the Government of the City of Bozeman?
They want anyone applying for city jobs to give out their Google, Yahoo!, YouTube, Facebook and other online profile passwords if they want to apply for a job. Of course, this is 2009, right?
What is the harm in taking advantage of the hapless jobless?
Better still, the Government likes to justify it - "No one has withdrawn an application because of this".
Hey, this makes Kamala Harris and her bullies gang of the City of San Francisco (Childs, anyone?) look like angels! And of course, if you ever thought why so many people have such stellar opinions of the Midwest, you know who is behind it.
Of course, the next time I drive to Yellowstone, I wonder if I will want to just drive on by Bozeman without stopping.

My Sexperience with Bing...
[Please click on the following to read original article]
Unfortunately, writer's block can go both ways. Sometimes you don't know what to say, and sometimes you don't know when to stop...every minute since I heard about the search for "sex" being closed out by Bing in India(search results go dead and you are gently asked to search for something, or use an actual search engine)....I have only wondered.
Where do we start?
1. Okay who was the low IQ perv who first looked up "sex" on Bing. Keywords boy, keywords...gotta look for the right thing. Alright, I give in. After all most exciting discoveries and inventions were accidental, n'est pas? Maybe he/she (could have been, right?) was looking for some "decision" making help?
2. Our main concern here is - is this really censorship from Microsoft. After all if there are 1 billion of us, then we probably knew how to ...er, even before Google or computers, right? Unless of course, 'em storks have been partial to the future of your software companies and IT support...(and those Bangaloreans Obama would like to not give jobs away to - yeah I split my infinitives, go Bing yourself now!)
3. So, going back to point 2, does Microsoft not want us to know about "it", also known as the birds and the bees, or do they just want fewer Indian babies?
4. It is amazing that while the original genius mentioned in #1 only looked for the three-lettered word, some of the commentators in the article referred below have seen how far Bing has gone with other body parts in India, Singapore, Australia and beyond. Apparently you can look up the "V" word (see, not actually writing the words makes it more exciting right?) but not the "P" word.
I think the V vs. P strategy is really good. After all, if you didn't know how to make what go where you won't try it - kinda like the unfinished Ikea furniture assembly that has been lying around half finished in your garage for six months...
Okay, I gotta admit, if I say anything more, Bing may never let me come up on theirpuritan, purgatory, Catholic Nun's Almanac decision engine again. So, with my selfish "blog searchability" in mind, I am going to stop...
If you are reading about sex on this blog from India, you know you heard it here, even if not at first, definitely not at Bing!
And now, for your reading "pleasure":

Unfortunately, writer's block can go both ways. Sometimes you don't know what to say, and sometimes you don't know when to stop...every minute since I heard about the search for "sex" being closed out by Bing in India(search results go dead and you are gently asked to search for something, or use an actual search engine)....I have only wondered.
Where do we start?
1. Okay who was the low IQ perv who first looked up "sex" on Bing. Keywords boy, keywords...gotta look for the right thing. Alright, I give in. After all most exciting discoveries and inventions were accidental, n'est pas? Maybe he/she (could have been, right?) was looking for some "decision" making help?
2. Our main concern here is - is this really censorship from Microsoft. After all if there are 1 billion of us, then we probably knew how to ...er, even before Google or computers, right? Unless of course, 'em storks have been partial to the future of your software companies and IT support...(and those Bangaloreans Obama would like to not give jobs away to - yeah I split my infinitives, go Bing yourself now!)
3. So, going back to point 2, does Microsoft not want us to know about "it", also known as the birds and the bees, or do they just want fewer Indian babies?
4. It is amazing that while the original genius mentioned in #1 only looked for the three-lettered word, some of the commentators in the article referred below have seen how far Bing has gone with other body parts in India, Singapore, Australia and beyond. Apparently you can look up the "V" word (see, not actually writing the words makes it more exciting right?) but not the "P" word.
I think the V vs. P strategy is really good. After all, if you didn't know how to make what go where you won't try it - kinda like the unfinished Ikea furniture assembly that has been lying around half finished in your garage for six months...
Okay, I gotta admit, if I say anything more, Bing may never let me come up on their
If you are reading about sex on this blog from India, you know you heard it here, even if not at first, definitely not at Bing!
And now, for your reading "pleasure":
