Arizona kräver presidentkandidater på födelsebevis – eller omskärelse

Den mycket fåniga debatten om Barack Obama är född i USA eller inte antar allt mer episkt puckade proportioner. James King på Phoenix New Times:

The Arizona Senate formally passed the ”Birther Bill” today, but not in its original version.

Apparently, requiring presidential candidates to provide a long-form birth certificate before allowing their names on the ballot in Arizona — despite it already being a federal requirement to run for president — was a bit too much for a few GOP lawmakers. So they made some amendments: if you can’t find your birth certificate, and you have a penis, a document describing your lack of foreskin will suffice.

De här metoderna för att avgöra individers legitimitet måste man annars gå tillbaka till moseböckerna för att hitta.
