Hawaii's health director has reiterated the fact that she's personally seen Barack Obama's birth certificate in the Health Department archives.
I doubt that will make any difference to the "birthers," the group of people that insists Obama wasn't born in the U.S., and thus doesn't meet the Constitutional requirements to be president.
One thing I've learned in my years as a reporter is that it's impossible to argue with a hardcore conspiracy theorist.
Before starting my first year at Penn State, I attended an orientation session with other students who had been accepted at the university. One of the topics they addressed was how academically and intellectually advanced we were over the country's general high school population.
I wasn't sure whether to be skeptical or alarmed about that information in subsequent years, when I encountered some real dumb asses at that school.
One episode comes to mind immediately. I was at a party where a young woman was talking about a friend of mine whom she considered "hot." But she wasn't sure if she could hook up with him, because he was a "foreigner."
