Ode to the Birthers

From the Huffington Post:

Less than half of Republicans believe that Barack Obama was born in the United States of America, a new public opinion poll finds.

Only 42 percent of Republican respondents in a Research 2000 survey, conducted for the liberal website Daily Kos, said they thought Obama was a natural born citizen; 28 percent said they did not believe Obama was born in the United States; 30 percent said they were not sure.

Some more numbers from the survey:

32% of those surveyed were annoyed because they were promised hot cocoa, and got none.

27% of those surveyed could not finish the survey because they got their heads stuck in dry cleaning bags.

15% of those surveyed had to leave because they were already late for meetings with their parole officers, and

65% of those swear they had nothing to do with the meth lab in the basement.

Aw, shucks, why can't we just understand what the birthers are going through? Maybe this will help:
