Morning Roundup

First of all, happy birthday Gabriel. You've had cake now, my man. There's no turning back.

Somehow I missed this, but apparently certain groups on the right are all in a lather about mythical improprieties about Barack's birth certificate. Salon tells us that despite a thorough debunking, this conspiracy theory won't go away anytime soon. Considering the Trib's financial troubles, I'm sure they're more than happy to run full page ads about it.

Over the weekend, Barack announced plans for a massive public works program. That warms my practically socialist heart.

Barack will be nominating General Eric Shinseki as Secretary of the VA. The bloggers love them some Eric Shinseki.

And, despite being caught up in the D.C. madam scandal, Sen. David Vitters (R-LA) is planning to run for re-election, and likely to win. Yet, Eliot Spitzer is radioactive.

The Chicago Tribune's Eric Zorn (a guy who deserves a wide audience) has a good entry about the Obama-citizenship absurdity (titled, "Sigh. The Crazies are Back):

yeah, i love how when people are totally freaked out and fearful about their future, the conspiracy theorists go wild. this is not surprising. although i did hear that alan keyes is involved in one of the lawsuits against barack. maybe blago will appoint him to the open seat?

speaking of, the gov has actually ordered the state to stop doing business with bank of america for screwing that local door installation company. loves it!
