Leave it to the Onion to hit the nail on the head

Following up on the news that President Obama was able to bring Osama bin Laden to justice I realized that while he was dealing with tightening the noose around one of the worst terrorists the world has ever known, Obama had to deal with that petulant idiot birther of Donald Trump and his absurd and childish demands to see his birth certificate, to prove once and for all that he is indeed an American citizen and therefore legally the US President.

Reading this on the Onion’s website after Obama finally decided to put an end to the madness by releasing his long-form birth certificate made me burst out in laughter:

Afterbirthers Demand To See Obama's Placenta

WASHINGTON–In the continuing controversy surrounding the president's U.S. citizenship, a new fringe group informally known as "Afterbirthers" demanded Monday the authentication of Barack Obama's placenta from his time inside his mother's womb. "All we are asking is that the president produce a sample of his fetal membranes and vessels—preferably along with a photo of the crowning and delivery—and this will all be over," said former presidential candidate and Afterbirthers spokesman Alan Keyes, later adding that his organization would be willing to settle for a half-liter of maternal cord plasma. "To this day, the American people have not seen a cervical mucus plug, let alone one that has been signed and notarized by a state-certified Hawaiian health official. If the president was indeed born in the manner in which he claims, then where is his gestation sac?" Keyes said that if Obama did not soon produce at least a bloody bedsheet from his conception, Afterbirthers would push forward with efforts to exhume the president's deceased mother and inspect the corpse's pelvic bone and birth canal.

Simply hysterical!!
