Sarah Bernhardt Playing The Lead In “Memoirs Of A Community Organizer From Hawaii”
Well, the story over at ObamaReleaseYourRecords started off really good:
Miki Booth gets a commitment from Senator Tom Coburn
and for that fleeting second I had the feeling that somebody finally locked the crazy Birther up. There were visions of Princess Miki in a strait jacket and padded cells. Maybe even electro-shock therapy. Yes, there is a God, and Justice, and a team of mental health professionals!!! And then, the Idyllic Vision evaporated as I got to the next part:
Miki Booth gets a commitment from Senator Tom Coburn
to contact Sheriff Joe Arpaio about Obama’s ineligibility
OH! What a letdown. She is still on the loose and babbling about forged birth certificates and idiotic pseudo-investigations, and her stupid book. Whatever happened to the good old days when Hawaiian Princesses just quietly did a half-gainer into a volcano to save their people??? Nowadays, they write stupid books, blather on radio talk shows, harass public officials, and just make a general nuisance of themselves.
Anyway, here is a link to the story:

I can imagine the half-hearted phone call from Senator Coburn to Sheriff Joe and the strained conversation as Coburn tries to pretend he isn’t talking to an idiot on the other of the line. If you live in Oklahoma, Coburn deserves both your vote and hazardous duty pay for doing stuff like this.

Note 1. The Image. This is Sarah Bernhardt playing Phedre (Phaedra), if I have my pictures right. Wiki says about Phedre:
The genealogy of Phèdre gives a number of indications as to her character’s destiny. Descended from Helios, god of the Sun, and Pasiphaë, she nevertheless avoids being in the judgmental presence of the sun throughout the play. The simultaneous absence of a god-figure combined with the continual presence of one has been extensively explored in Lucien Goldmann’s Le Dieu caché. This sense of patriarchal judgment is extended to Phèdre’s father, Minos, who is responsible for weighing the souls of the dead upon their arrival in Hades.
Phèdre is right to fear judgment; she is driven to an incestual love for her stepson Hippolytus, much like the other women in her family, who tended to experience desires generally considered taboo. Her mother, Pasiphaë was cursed by Aphrodite to fall in love and mate with a white bull, giving rise to the legendary Minotaur. Phèdre meets Theseus, her future husband, when he arrives on the Minoan scene to kill her monstrous half-brother, the minotaur.

Doesn’t it always seem that way with god-figures… around when you don’t need them, and nowhere to be found when you do?
