Sheriff Joe Arpaio Claims Obama Birth Certificate A ‘Fraud’
Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio dove head first into the birther movement on Thursday, arguing at a news conference in Phoenix that President Obama’s birth certificate is a fake and that crimes were committed in its creation.
People of Arizona*, can we talk? Okay, great. I’ll be brief: What the hell is wrong with you? why do you keep electing this whackjob to public office? Are you trying to be the 1960s Mississippi of the 21st century?
*I understand not all of Arizona votes for this lunatic. But the entire state keeps sending John Freaking McCain into the Senate, so there’s that.
There’s also the fact that a city of over a million (Phoenix) pretty much determines what the whole state does. I live in Flagstaff - liberal, snowy and not at all part of the Arpaio/Cain crowd. Not cool.

Saw this picture on imgur and just had to post it here, because this is without a doubt, one of the most badass women alive. Meet Katrina Hodge, a corporal in the British Army and Miss England 2009. According to Wikipedia, she enlisted back in 2004 after her brother challenged her to and earned the nickname “Combat Barbie” after showing up at her assigned unit wearing false eyelashes, kitten heels (whatever those are) and carry a pink suitcase. In 2005 her unit, the Royal Anglian Regiment, was deployed to Iraq, where she saved the lives of her comrades from a prisoner by wrestling not one, but two rifles from him and then knocking his ass out with her bare hands.
With her bare hands.
Then in 2009, she decided to compete in the Miss England competition to destroy stereotypes about women in the military. She didn’t win (she placed runner-up), but still became Miss England after the woman who did got into a fight and gave up the crown. While Miss England, Hodge convinced the people running the competition to ditch the bikini contest, because she felt that it was more important to be a role model than looking good in a bikini.
In 2010, she handed over the crown and returned to military service, being deployed to Afghanistan.
This woman is both a BAMF and a HBIC. Damn.
