Change I Can Laugh At

I know I should be outraged over this; I just can’t bring myself to be so. It’s so funny. It’s like watching little mice run around and over each other, squeaking and squawking. I assume they’re speaking some little mice language, but it makes no sense and is just cute and funny. Or it’s like watching a hamster furiously running on its wheel like it’s actually going to get somewhere. You can’t help but marvel at the little bugger’s drive, but also at its innate stupidity.

Who am I comparing to cute but mindless rodents? These people:

Change They Can Litigate: The fringe movement to keep Barack Obama from becoming president.

Why the stories about Obama's birth certificate will never die: Barack Obama was, without question, born in the U.S., and he is eligible to be president, but experts on conspiracy theories say that won't ever matter to those who believe otherwise.

I was around in 2000, and I understand the zeal when you have a President-elect who shouldn’t be. But even we, who had something of a case, got over it. But watching these people scurry about in total delusion provides entertainment I thought I’d lost when Sarah Palin went back to Alaska (though her bills keep coming in!)

Thanks little people. In the post-election glow, I needed something to continue to make me laugh.
