Is Rivero this illogical?

A new birther article, with the same old WRH nonsense reasoning why the issue should be ignored.

There are some very clever fakes being floated around to “prove” Obama is not legally eligible to be President.

But does it make any sense?

For this article to be real and for Obama to be born in Indonesia (or Kenya or Mars) means that the entire Democratic National Committee has to be in on the fraud, and that neither Hillary nor McCain’s inevitable investigations of Obama found any of this “evidence.”

Hillary certainly would have used it to get Obama out of the primaries, and McCain would have used it to win the White House.

And without question the DNC would not have gone along with such a fraud because Hillary would have easily beaten McCain.

I don’t know where Obama was born. He won’t be removed because our justice system threw in the towel on the Constitution long ago. Why would it apply the Presidential eligibility provisions against Obama anymore than it applied eminent domain protections in the Kelo case, for example?

That said, Rivero is too smart by half here. Follow the logic out for a moment. If neither McCain nor Hillary raised the birth certificate issue, Rivero insists it must be a fake issue.

Therefore, since Obama never raised issues like Travelgate, Filegate, Chinagate, Vince Foster, etc. to defeat Hillary, they too must be fake issues concocted by some imaginary smear merchants in the shadow.

Obviously McCain was trying to lose when he voted for TARP. The plan to annoint Obama was arranged long ago, for whatever reason, and the people who make Presidents weren’t going to let some silly inconvenience like the Constitution change things.

Giving Babies Tylenol May Blunt Vaccines’ Effects

Via WMTW (10/15/09):

Giving babies Tylenol to prevent fever when they get childhood vaccinations may backfire and make the shots a little less effective, surprising new research suggests.

It is the first major study to tie reduced immunity to the use of fever-lowering medicines. Although the effect was small and the vast majority of kids still got enough protection from vaccines, the results make “a compelling case” against routinely giving Tylenol right after vaccination, say doctors from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The research was sponsored by Belgium-based GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals, which makes all the vaccines used in the study. Some authors have financial ties to the company, including owning stock in it, and Glaxo had a role in reporting the results.

I’m a little bit suspicious of this story. GSK-Bio makes money selling vaccines. GSK makes money selling people all sorts of pharmaceutical products. So, if your game is to cause sickness with vaccines, and offer “cures” via scores of other products, and the “success” of your vaccination program is reduced when the “patient” ingests Tylenol when receiving their shot(s), you have a problem.

On the other hand, you could actually believe that GSK wants you to be healthy.

Two Nabbed In Waterville Cocaine Bust

Via WCSH (10/15/09):

Officers from seven local, county, and state police agencies met with the media to discuss the details of a major drug bust in central Maine. “I personally cannot remember such a large seizure of cocaine in the central Maine area, going back to 1989 when we arrested an individual from Alaska in a local motel that had a kilo of cocaine,” said Waterville Police Chief Joseph Massey. “It is a very large quantity of cocaine that was in our area and it was certainly nice to get that off our streets.”

On Friday October 9th, police executed a traffic stop on Hospital Street in Augusta, pulling over a van. Inside were Eric Prevost and Tabitha Waddell, whom police suspected of dealing drugs in the area. Police officers found just over a pound of cocaine and about a thousand dollars in cash on the pair. Police then searched their home, where they found a digital scale and other drug paraphernalia that leads them to believe drugs were being packaged and sold from the home.

“To disrupt this drug-trafficking group is a significant accomplishment,” said MDEA Director Roy McKinney. “Cooperation, coordination and collaboration is so important because the drug dealers do not know or do not recognize city and town boundaries.”

Waterville Police received a tip that the pair had been selling drugs throughout the area. They contacted other agencies and quickly set-up surveillance on the pair. The information they got aided the investigation greatly according to McKinney. “It is so important for citizens to provide information to the police. Information comes to us and we act upon it and as a result you see a seizure that takes place here and seizures that take place everyday across the state,” said McKinney.

Police estimate the street value of the drugs at about $50,000. Eric Prevost and Tabitha Waddell are both charged with Class A trafficking, which carries with it a penalty of up to 30 years in jail and fines up to $50,000. Waddell has been released on bail. Prevost is being held at the Kennebec County Jail in lieu of $100,000 cash bail. Both are scheduled to appear in Kennebec County Superior Court on December 8th.

Bangor Receives Grant To Hire More Police Officers

Via WCSH (10/15/2009):

The Bangor Police Department is getting a federal grant that will put more officers on the street. The grant will pay the salaries for four new police officers for the next three years.

On any given day, there are usually five police officers patrolling the streets of Bangor. City Council Chairman Gerry Palmer says that’s not enough.

“We’re not a community of thirty thousand,” Palmer told NEWS CENTER. “We have a hundred thousand people out there, and people are having their accidents, they’re going through stop signs and stop lights, we need the law enforcement that we have to meet the needs and service our community.”

The City Council gave the okay for the police department to receive a federal grant to hire four new officers. Those won’t be patrol positions, but Police Chief Ron Gastia says they will be positions he normally has to take officers off the street to fill.

“What this grant will do is allow us to fill those positions without robbing from the patrol side,” Gastia told NEWS CENTER. “So we will be able to maintain our current level of staffing out there.”

The jobs will be a school resource officer, a community relations officer, and two officers for a special enforcement team that will tackle crimes that are happening in trends.

Epidemic of birth defects in Iraq since US invasion?

I do not understand how “pro-life” “Christians”, or anyone else for that matter, can believe such atrocities are acceptable or necessary for US “security”. I can only hope that these innocent victims are now in some place better than the hellhole created for them in their homeland by the US war machine and legions of ignorant Americans who support these war crimes.
