"OUT IN ARIZONA WHERE THE WILD KOOKS ARE"

I quote from alerts@alerts.worldnewsdaily.net:

"Tea party to Arizona: Check Obama's eligibility
Evoking an overlooked provision of state law, Arizona tea party groups are circulating a petition urging a chamber of the state legislature to pass a resolution that would force Arizona's secretary of state to examine Barack Obama's birth credentials.

Arizone, to my mind, is rapidly gaining number one position as the kookiest state in the U.S.A. How long can you whip a dead horse, for God's sake?

This from the wonderful folks who enacted that zany Immigration law and are among the top in gun toters. They haven't recovered from the Wild West days, I reckon. The fort-surrounded-by-Indians mentality seems to be S.O.P. (standard operating procedure for all of you too young to remember this military phrase). The N.R.A. is on a real high these days: I expect Charlton Heston, in his Moses garb, to reincarnate, holding a tablet containing the Second Amendment and seek reelection as head of the N.R.A.---or maybe go for the big ring on the political merry-go-round and seek the Presidency.

The tail is beginning to wag the dog as witnessed by the Tea Party influence on the Republican Party and its candidates, past and present. The polarization of America continues unabated and flourishing as the rhetoric continues to inflame and distort.

I once went to school, back in the Dark Ages, in Tucson. It was a lovely town of 50,000, which doubled in the winter to 100,000. I have a strong feeling i wouldn't enjoy it as much today, listening to the crazy cowboy mentality apparently so evident in Arizona.

Maybe Mitt should tie the old dog to the roof of his car and motor "out in Arizona where the bad men are...", to quote the old classic, "Ragtime Cowboy Joe". He could put to rest those moderate appelations for good!
