Let me introduce you to Jerome Corsi.

This week he released a new book that the publisher says will be a bestseller “of historic proportions.”

The title is “Where’s the Birth Certificate?” — yes, really.

Corsi’s work is a greatest-hits reel of delusions, ranging from 9/11 conspiracies to claiming that there is an infinite supply of oil in the Earth’s core. In 2008, he published a book about Barack Obama claiming, among other things, that he (a) is a secret Muslim; (b) is secretly anti-military; (c) secretly dealt drugs; and (d) secretly supported terrorist actions when he was eight years old. So many secrets!

FactCheck.org called Corsi’s work “a mishmash of unsupported conjecture, half-truths, logical fallacies and outright falsehoods.”

There’s really no way to make this stuff completely go away. The only thing we can do is laugh at it — and make sure as many other people as possible are in on the joke.

So let’s just do this — get your Obama birth certificate mug here:

Last year, the President said, “I can’t spend all of my time with my birth certificate plastered on my forehead.”

This is about as close as we can get.

If the facts can’t make these ridiculous smears go away, we can at least have a little fun with it.

And then we’ll get back to the important work of supporting the President as he tackles real problems like high gas prices, the deficit, and unemployment.

Thanks,

Tell Utah to keep its tar sands in the ground!

The now infamous Alberta tar sands wreak havoc not only on Canada’s land, people and wildlife, but the global climate at large.

The United States is next on the list of tar sands victims. Utah’s Division of Oil, Gas & Mining has approved the first ever tar sands mine in the U.S. directly adjacent to Canyonlands National Park.

Let’s nip this nightmare in the bud.

Demand Utah’s director of Oil, Gas and Mining John Baza protect our national parks from the dirtiest oil extraction method on Earth.

Canada’s Earth Energy Resources, the company that is trying to mine tar sands in Utah, expects to produce 2,000 barrels of crude bitumen per day from this horrific mining project. If Earth Energy Resources gets its way the tar sands min project would occupy 213 acres within the Colorado River watershed.

We can’t allow the precedent of tar sands extraction to be set in America. These stakes are simply too high to live with.

Email John Baza today and tell him to keep tar sands mining out of Utah.

Thank you for helping to prevent the tar sands industry from getting a toehold in the United States.
