I'll have to look it up.

Me, too. It is not even a new word; the first known use was in 1612. Before the use on TFB, a recent reported use was in reference to Donald Trump.

Wow, rodomontade. I like!

Perhaps the first completely new word to me learned on Fogbow. (Aside from invented words like denined, fradulant, etc.)

What a cool word.

Thanks. I recently picked it up from a Stephin Merritt song.

Duh: philly.com is the online site for the Philadelphia Daily News and the Philadelphia Inquirer, newspapers once owned by Walter Annenberg. Who later endowed the Annenberg Foundation, which operates factcheck.org, and had hired Obama and Ayers, etc.

Duh.

I really don't get this one.

For years Phil has stated that he's "1000%" certain Obama was born in Kenya AND that he had the proof and was only waiting 'til "the right time" to release it. Wouldn't this have been "the right time" finally? :lol:

I nominate Annenberg for Obot agent of the millennium. Palling around with Reagan all those years, and putting on the brave front as a loyal Republican, just to set the stage for the ultimate usurpation by Obama which they had been planing since the early 1960's. Genius. If only he could have lived to see the payoff of all of his hard work.

I think Phil just mailed in this one. He saw it as something to do to keep the donations trickling in w/o too high a risk of sanctions. I am sure LL wrote it anyway so it required no effort on his part.

Foggy · **Posted:** Sat Mar 17, 2012 10:18 am

Can he really be getting any donations? That's the part I don't get. There can't be a lot of birthers who still support him, since they were all forced to choose between him and Orly, especially since he dropped out for so long.

I know it may not be strictly true in Berg's case (who knows), but I sure would like to see some of these sorts of headlines start to read "Republicans 0-for-3 in knocking Obama off ballot."

Karen Kiefer who brought the Kerchner & Laudenslager v Obama Ballot Access Challenge in PA writes Letter to PA Attorney General Linda Kelly – Investigate Obama Forgery, Fraud, and Election Law Crimes

Quote:

I am writing regarding the matter of candidate Barack Hussein Obama and the necessity of an immediate full scale criminal investigation into said candidate’s identity and Constitutional eligibility for office. Enclosed with this letter is a CD containing Court Transcripts, Exhibits, FOIA information and Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s Findings relative to his six month long, Cold Case Posse investigation into candidate Barack Hussein Obama’s long form Birth Certificate and Selective Service Registration Card. This data is indicia of a crime or crimes, i.e., forged Birth Certificate and Selective Service Registration Card. Sheriff Arpaio, through his Cold Case Posse, has indicated that there exists probable cause to believe these documents are forgeries; meaning the very identity of candidate Barack Hussein Obama is unknown and a usurper resides in the White House.

"Upping The Ante", lol. Yes, saying these things is an unprecedented move, bold.

Will make for some interesting developments. But relying on this kind of 'evidence'... Reckless, especially for an attorney... Then again, so is representing Kerchner :twisted:

Wow, she writes purty, don't she?

Not so clear in the thinking department, but at least she can spell, format, stick to a single font, and NOT underline, nor garnish, with grated commas.

And she's got her own County Sheriff, who's "committed to provide whatever services and resources" may be needed to get that usurperer right out of there...and his little dog too.

Ooooh. I'm askeered now.

Here's the sheriff:

pdf for a fundraiser for 'Held For Sheriff', with the star of the big show: Sheriff Richard Mack.

http://sheriffmack.com/docs/2010-11-13% ... f?view=Fit

Note that Held is Sheriff in Westmoreland County. That's outside of Pittsburgh, PA. A lot of it is still rural. But Westmoreland County is nowhere near Kerchner.

True mimi, but Karen's little billet doux is on behalf of "Pa. Freedom Allies and Fayette Patriots", not Kerchner. Looks like Karen's decided to step on into birtherville on her own.

Shore does. Purty as a peacock.

Why it'd be practically purfect if only she hadn't skipped school when they taught about plural nouns. This is one of the best double plays I've seen in a while:

Kiefer wrote:

Is our children learning? (Should be "These data are indicia" since both data and indicia are plural.)

No. It should be: "this data indicates. . . "

Plain language

Of course that sounds great to the RWNJs but in PA Sheriff's don't seem to have police powers. To quote from Sheriff Held's own campaign pledges

Quote:

Working with the Pennsylvania Sheriff's Association to restore the Police Powers of the Position.

I will promote any legislation that restores the full Constitutional Powers of the Sheriff.

I'll just point out that while the whole rest of the world treats "data" as plural, in computing it is often used (correctly per standards of writing in the discipline) as singular. If someone ways "This data indicates..." I'd almost bet it was someone with a computing background. If they say "These data indicate..." I'd bet a humanities background.

I'm not so sure about that. In British English, yes. In American English, maybe not.

For example, in British English, we would expect something like this: "The band are ready to perform". But in American English, I think it is perfectly acceptable to say: "The band is ready to perform". I don't know - I am not enough of a language geek. But I do feel that most Americans would think that "The band are ready" sounds weird, while "The band is ready" feels more natural. YMMV

Uh oh - maybe we need to move this over to the language geekery thread? Dunno.

Falsehoods unchallenged only fester and grow.
