Politics and religion.

Hee hee. I saw an opinion piece from a political columnist apologizing on behalf of the media for foisting Donald Trump on the rest of us. It gave me a wry sort of smile.

Birth certiicates?

I worked for a short time, long ago, as a Birth Certificate Clerk.

The whole 'birther' thing made me laugh, from the emails sent to me by friends claiming BO wasn't a citizen, to the prez himself.

The "short form" BC is merely a document from a hospital, signed by the parent(s) and the doc who delivered the child.

The long form is that same document, sent to the county or state registar who has recorded that birth in the states/county's archives/books.

Bo could have saved quite a bit of turmoil and bad press by releasing the LFBC.

Of course, Hawaii has some stupid laws regarding the release of a BC,wshich should be a matter of public record, so that just made it more of a problem fo BO.

Jeez, as if we do not have anything better to worry about.
