His mother could not become a U.S. citizen because she was considered an Indian.
OMG! I guess we have to negate everythng in US history from that point on!

Well this has turned into one hell of a trove of American history trivia. It is actually starting to be interesting.

I'll second that. This diversion's been one helluva bizarre yet oddly fun ride. I only wish I'd had a smiley of someone sitting back munching popcorn, enjoying the show. Of course, now I'm ready for it to be over because it got old. Let's face it, even the best comedy routines get stale if they go on too long.

So.... any ideas what time the big announcement will be made?

I havent been keeping up, but has this already been covered? It was published Dec. 1.

"Leo Donofrio has just announced that the Cort Wrotnowski case in the US Supreme Court has been delayed 7 days due to his renewed application being sent to an Anthrax Facility. Donofrio is outraged at this delay tactic and behind the scenes chicanery at the Supreme Court."

Breaking news on tv has it that Obama and family have boarded a public jet and have taken off to Hawaii. Evidently their home in Chicago is being boarded up. Not sure if this is related but it is happening. I just read it on a blog that I can't link because you would see I wrote it.

No they'll throw it out today because they'll see it for what it is, pure bunk.

The Supreme Court has nothing to be afraid of. The justices are appointed for life for that very reason. They'll throw the case out because it has no merit.

Further developments... enroute to Hawaii they were mysteriously beamed up into mothership, which presumably is headed back to Jor-El.

Witnesses reported hearing voices as the Obamas were beamed off the plane. One said: "Well Barack, how did they figure it out?" The other said "It was that damn speech from Biden. He said I would be challenged and people would see I was a man of steel...."

Latest update:

A helicopter just landed in my backyard. The Obama family stepped out and asked if they could use my rest room.

The Secret Service agent pulled out his memory erasing zapper before he left in order to make me forget that this happened.

Good thing I was wearing my tinfoil hat and the zap bounced back to him.

But now I have a man in a black suit in my backyard calling for his mommy.
