James Poniewozik of Time on the birthers:
This theory has been around for years, was hot on the Internet during the election, has been thoroughly debunked, and at this point, requires the belief in a birth-certificate forgery, the complicity of Hawaii's government, misunderstanding of U.S. passport law, an elaborate deception plan hatched by Obama's parents at his birth, the collusion of Hawaiian newspapers in 1961 and, I don't know, possibly the use of a time machine.Poniewozik, clearly, is part of the conspiracy too.It is not just tinfoil-hat stuff, but full-tinfoil-bodysuit stuff. It deserves as much credence as the fake-moon-landing theory got on the 40th anniversary of Apollo.
