AP fact checks healthcare reform myths
Interesting article about how many Americans are misinformed about what's in the health care reform proposal. Some people actually believe that we'll be providing health care to illegal immigrants, funding abortion, and giving up on grandma if her bills get too costly. Where do people get these ideas?

The "Birther" movement is dying out

'Kenyan' Obama Birth Certificate Is Mine: Aussie
Forgery by birthers 'so laughable it’s ridiculous'
(Newser Summary) – President Obama’s “Kenyan” birth certificate, posted online by lawyer Orly Taitz, has been debunked as a forgery, and the original document—an old Australian certificate—it was based on has even been discovered. The Australian Broadcast Channel tracked down David Bomford, the man whose genuine birth certificate was used for the forgery. Bomford was quite shocked to have been an unwitting pawn for the US birther movement:
“That is ridiculous,” Bomford said. “Little old person in Adelaide, the president of the United States. I don’t know whether to laugh about it or not, be worried about it. Oh I definitely confirm that the birth certificate was mine. That was quite easy to see—my address, even the style of the birth certificate was an old South Australian one.” Click the Salon link below to see both documents.
