'Birthers' are bonkers
Posted By Max Brantley on Tue, Aug 4, 2009 at 6:44 AM
Eugene Robinson writes that he's never encountered any political activists as nutty as the "birthers" who question President Obama's eligibility to be president. That covers a lot of nuttiness.

Trump immigration protest at LR: Quick and fierce
It was not even 24 hours ago that Sophia Said, director of the Interfaith Center; City Director Kathy Webb and others decided to organize a protest today of Donald Trump's executive order that has left people from Muslim countries languishing in airports or unable to come to the US at all — people with visas, green cards,a post-doc graduate student en route to Harvard, Google employees abroad, families. I got the message today before noon; others didn't find out until it was going on. But however folks found out, they turned out in huge numbers, more than thousand men, women and children, on the grounds of the state Capitol to listen to speakers from all faiths and many countries.
