It’s 5:17 PM on February 28, and since this is leap year, we will have to wait an extra day for Joe Arpaio’s March 1st press conference announcing to the world what he supposedly already told Rick Santorum about what his “cold case posse” found out regarding the veracity of allegations that Jerome Corsi and a band of Tea Party petitioners presented to him. [Sorry about the long sentence1.]
So I have my life on hold for another day. In fact today I have been reduced to reading scholarly journals. That’s a sarcastic way of saying that a slow news day is a good thing from time to time.
I have pondered the question of what Joe Arpaio will say. I don’t figure that he will add anything new to the store of information about Barack Obama. The open question is just how, or whether, he will spin it.
1I put this in Google Translate English –> German –> Chinese (Traditional) –> Spanish –> Russian –> English and it came out:
This amounts to 28 hours of 17.17 in February, because it is a leap year, we’ll have to wait for the first Joe Arpaio, with an extra day in the March meeting the press, announced to the world, he would have said the credibility of Rick Santorum, Jerome Corsi, and tea with the statement presented him with his "band of the case open"
And that was not at all as funny as I hoped it would be. Where are the classic bad Chinese transistor radio manuals:
While tuning the stations, you had better get very close to the window or stand on the outdoor field in order to avoid the interrupt and gain the best reception.
And who could forget the wonderful text on the chopsticks wrappers?
Welcome to Chinese Restaurant. Please try your Nice Chinese Food With Chopsticks the traditional and typical of Chinese glorious history. and cultural
A word of advice, sell your frogs quickly, there will be no frog marching on March 1. I talked to Sheriff Joe’s youngest son’s brother’s first wife who said “He ain’t got nothing, no how”. Birferstani’s will say he sold out. Birferstani’s actually believe he found something that the mainstream media could not. The unknown secret of Obama’s birth in Jamaica is still safe. As a side issue , Goldline is paying 22cents per name and address of birthers, contact Goldline for details.
April 2012:
MEREDITH VIEIRA:
You have people now out there searching– I mean, in Hawaii?
DONALD TRUMP:
Absolutely. And they cannot believe what they’re finding.
Be advised: Possible repetition of history imminent.
You won’t be bored while waiting for Sheriff Joe.
Fogbow members have obtained several new briefs filed by President Obama’s lawyer in the Pennsylvania ballot challenge cases, set to be heard the same day, March 1, at 10 a.m.
The lawyer is John Lavelle, and his stuff is GOOD. They’re not even letting Mario Apuzzo’s application for pro hac vice go unopposed. Why should Mario be admitted to this case, when he’s making the exact same legal arguments that were ruled FRIVOLOUS by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals?
And the birthers want to have some unnamed witness call in to the court from Arizona on Skype, but Lavelle is having none of it.
This one isn’t going to be Birthers v. an Empty Chair. Apuzzo and Kerchner are going to be heading into the wood-chipper, it looks like from where I sit.
Stand by, these will all be available shortly.
if it were MOI, and i had some bombshell and i had given that info to santorum when i met with him privately on 2/21, i would have announced it BEFORE the michigan and arizona primaries
but that’s just MOI
I’m trying to see how anything Arpaio could say would help one Republlican vs another. Frankly, at this point, the Republican candidates are so abysmal that even if Joe declares Obama guilty of 23 crimes and issues a warrant for his arrest, he would still be favored to win. It might even help him win Arizona if Sherriff Joe.picks a fight with him.
Glad to hear it! About time that folks stop treating such repeat frivolity with kids gloves. Keep us posted, thanks!
Agreed. That is why I my expectations for the Joe Arpaio show have always been along the lines of what J Potter just mentioned. Of course, who knows what kind of spin and stunt he’ll try to pull. So, I’ll just sit back and be as surprised by whatever spectacle goes down in two days as everyone else.
You Obots don’t seem to understand there are two OMG moments on March 1, first there is the explosive Sheriff Joe report, then the PA ballot challenge where Berg digs a hole for the Kenyan born Obama. These occur on the same day, do you understand that, the same day. Biferstan has never had 2 OMG moments on the same day, so it is important. After this Berg will be named president of Biferstan with Sheriff Joe as his attorney general (or is that general attorney?). There is no escaping the shock of Birferstan so don’t expect the witch to be buried under the house.. OK all you Birfers click your heels together and wish Obama to lose. Or just maybe it will be Obots singing “Ding Dong the witch….”
richCares:
lol
the spin will be that, since arpaio didn’t bother to investigate sexual assaults (including on 2 years olds), obama has THREATENED arpaio with life in prison if he releases ANY info detrimental to obama’s campaign
and, in exchange for NOT RELEASING that BOMBSHELL, obama will not investigate arpaio and will appoint him to homeland security to replace napolitano
Um, actually I took a 10 day vacation from Fogbow. I haven’t had a break in more than three years. I’m studying for my Windows7 certification test on Mar. 6, gonna be a Microsoft Certified Technical Specialist, woo hoo. That’s how I turned up on Doc’s doorstep in swaddling clothes a few days ago. Just keeping my hand in, without the hassle of being admin. Here I can play “just plain Obot”. 😀
But I do have my contacts, so I knew these new briefs were on the way to Fogbow. If I go over there, I’ll get sucked right back into the vortex. I was just giving y’all a heads up ‘cuz I don’t want poor Doc to have to spend another day poring over scholarly journals, poor bunny.
PA – Schneller v Obama – Motions…
SCHNELLER v OBAMA – Motion to Strike and DismissSCHNELLER v OBAMA -Letter to Clerk
Ouch… Someone forgot to study the law… And really there is no need for the defendant to present any witnesses as the case will fail based on the submission
1. Objector lacks standing to challenge President Obama’s nomination petition because he is not a member of the Democratic Party.
2, This Court lacks jurisdiction to consider a challenge to President Obama’s eligibility under the U.S. Constitution for the office of President of the United States. No candidate’s affidavit averring eligibility was filed, or required to be filed, under Section 910 of the Election Code, 25 P.S. 2870. Because no such affidavit was required or filed, this Court lacks jurisdiction to consider a challenge to President Obama’s eligibility.
3. The contention which is the sole basis for Objector’s challenge to President Obama’s nomination petition – that, despite being born in the United States, President Obama is not a “natural born citizen” eligible to be President because his father was not a U.S. citizen – is legally meritless and has been uniformly rejected.
4. Under well-established law, objector cannot reserve the right to allege specific defects in the nomination petition at a later date, but must do so, with specificity, in the petition challenging the nomination petition.

I feel kind of sorry for the birthers. Their mommies and daddies will be tucking them in the night of Feb 29th, telling them that, if they’ve been good little birthers, Sheriff Joe will bring them everything they asked for. Then, on the 1st, they’ll rush downstairs in their pajamas, eyes full of hope and wonder, only to see that Sheriff Joe ate the cookies, drank the milk, and took a huge steaming dump under the Birther tree.
ASK, I hurt myself laughing. Where do I send the bill for treating my cracked rib?
I recommend that you also see what you can do to get a hold of some beta Windows 8 stuf…that is supposed to be one of the biggest OS changes for Windows (to take the destop/laptop OS and merge it into something that is also “Tablet friendly”) and is the big anticipated release for this fall…
Thanks, Foggy. However, looking at the motions filed by Lavelle, I don’t see that there will much of interest happening. It looks like a trivial dismissal of the case on lack of standing.
But Lavelle is asking for costs.
More important, Mario will probably be there in court. It would be sweet for the judge to tell him to go away, his application for admission pro hac vice is denied solely because his legal arguments are frivolous. And that IS the only ground Lavelle listed for denying it.
I should mention that Mario filed a 199-page brief 😯 today. That will lend credence to the “Don’t let him play because he files frivolous crap” thingy. If you want a judge to read your brief, keep it under 5 pages, they’re busy people. Mario apparently never learned that.
He managed to skate away from the Third Circuit on sanctions. This would burn his butt, even if he doesn’t have to pay a nickel to the court. If the judge simply turns down his application for admission pro hac vice, I’ll be a happy Obot yes indeedy.
As I’ve mentioned, I found it quite entertaining to see all these challenges start appearing in PA. Everything I’ve read on their ballot rules makes this a very difficult state to contest any of the Birther types of arguments at all.

Is it Arpaio?
TAITZ:
At last! (She goes towards the heap.) Reinforcements at last!

We were beginning to weaken. Now we’re sure to see the evening out.
APUZZO:

We are no longer alone, waiting for the night, waiting for Arpaio, waiting for… waiting. All evening we have struggled, unassisted. Now it’s over. It’s already tomorrow.

And the big question on everyone’s mind: Will Sheriff Joe birf?
One wonders whether he’s managed to get a copy of the BC from Hawaii. Politically, I would think he would want to either throw the birthers a small chicken bone, or at least let them down gently. If he’s asked for and gotten a copy of a valid BC, it’s going to be difficult for him to do the former.
If he goes too far birther, that could hurt him. If he totally dashes birther hopes to the ground, that could hurt him as well.
Let’s go.
Yes. Let’s go.
(The do not move. A very slow curtain)
Audience members are heard to mumble, “Thank Christ that’s over.”
But it’s not over. Don’t you catch the last bit: They do not move.
The play doesn’t really end. The audience just leaves.
A funny thing about that play is that the character I have labeled “APUZZO,” in the actual play, is “POZZO.”
Taitz (who came from the USSR) replaces “VLADIMIR.”
My Sheriff Joe prediction: He’ll say there are so many questions, so many unanswered questions. We’ll probably get the old standby “For an administration that promised transparency, there shouldn’t be so many questions. Why are there so many questions?”
Joe might even call for a congressional investigation, because there are so many questions.
He tried to get to the bottom of it all, but, well, there are just too many questions.
It will be a big load of nuthin’. But the birthers will call it a victory because he called for a further investigation. And the nonsense will continue.
Actually, I think that’s probably a pretty decent prediction.
Definitely John! Arpaio has been trapped by this from the first. Politicians have to chose their appearances and associations wisely. Arpaio walked right into the trap laid by Corsi, and allowed himself to be reeled in by trying to avoid confrontation.
Or at least that’s the impression I got from the coverage of the infamous Tea Party meeting at which Corsi passed a petition, and the initial reporting of its presentation to Arpaio the next day (Corsi and his band of RWNJs cornered him in his office and sweated him for an hour). WND’s initial reported Arpaio response is very tepid and nearly dismissive:
The same day, a local phoenix radio station reported:
A month later Corsi reported the formation of a volunteer posses headed by a few lawman and staffed by Tea Party volunteers. And, oh, how the story has ballooned from there. Claims of up to 10,000 posse members, etc.
On 2/12/12, Corsi reported on a petition of 100K signatures in support of Arpaio (hey, let’s check those signatures out!) … humorous note in the article: “The power to constitute posses is authorized to Arizona sheriffs under the state constitution.” Hmm, yes, but what in regards to the Office of he President? Vital records in Hawaii? Any Constitutional matter?
The latest at WND is that live coverage of the Arpaio show will be available and that you can sign up to receive a free copy of the report the second it’s made available to the press. Note that if you do so, you agree that: “I understand I will be signed up for FREE WND alerts. I can unsubscribe at any time.” LOL! So, whether or not any report is released, whether or not its contents if any are worth a flip, you will be sucked into a universe of frightwing spam! What a deal!
Note that all along through the reporting, coverage of Arpaio’s troubles with the DoJ are interwoven with the posse action. As though they are somehow equivalent!
I expect Arpaio to continue to weasel. Anything released will be a Taitzian pile of random hearsay and gossamer. As always, quantity indicates quality in birferstan!
———————————————–
Some details of Corsi’s remarks to the Tea Party on 8/19/11 can be found at the Sonoran News.
The funniest coverage of the posse’s genesis can be found at The Phoenix New Times blog: Another Stupid-Sheriff Story: Birther Bozos Claim Joe Arpaio Vows to Probe Barack Obama’s “Fake Birth Certificate”
* That’s a gin-u-wine WND typo right there.
If I am correct, then assuming Sheriff Joe goes public on Thursday with the results of his investigation, there is a good bet his Cold Case Posse will report that Obama is NOT a Natural Born Citizen. Their analysis into the question will be similar to what Mario has produced. Doc says the brief sounds something more for the Public rather than for the court. This could in fact be true if the Cold Posse analysis is similar to what Mario has produced. The public can then read for themselves that Obama is NOT a natural born citizen. Such a public analysis could definitely be used as a basis for numerous other state ballot challenges both in the Primary and possibly the General Election. Such an analysis can then be touted as from an official and legal authority that has taken up and researched the issue in full leaving no stone unturned. Such an analysis will also serve to conflict with Jack Maskell’s CRS report should obots argue that the issue as already been examined by a legal authority.
Yeah, Gary, I’m going with what you predicted. Now we just have to wait and see.
I think it very unlikely that Arpaio’s investigation would be a legal opinion on constitutional language. That’s a matter for the courts, not law enforcement.
“If I am correct, then assuming….”
we will definetly quote you on March 1, will you as accurate as you ghave been in the past?
Tee Hee!
As in “Café Birf”?
It seems to me that the Putz is hitting the jug of cheap domestically-produced Chianti a bit to hard as he descends even further into the rabbit hole.
Squeeky, j’accuse!
I loved ASK’s “steaming dump under the birther tree” so much, I posted it on Birther Report.
No, no royalties for copyright violation. That’ll teach you to make me laugh that hard! Anyway, I got this response from my fan club over there:
😯
Feel the love!
Foggy, considering the damage done to monitors and keyboards at the Fogbow by way of beverage expulsion, I’d say you can’t complain.
Well, John has called it. Given his 0% success on past predictions, this may give us some insight into what we really happen. Unfortunately, I now have this awful vision of John wanting to spank the Sheriff.
From the scientific perspective one can never go wrong saying there are still more questions and more important research to be done (and more grant funding needed).
according to wing nutzz daily, this is the FIRST TIME there is a “law enforcement investigation”
“Until now, as hard as it may be to believe, no official vetting of Obama’s credentials has been done – not by the 50 secretaries of state who oversee elections, not by the Federal Elections Commission that administers the nation’s elections laws, not by the Electoral College, not by any judge in America, not by Congress, not by anyone”
law enforcement can’t determine “natural born” so what else will they determine?
can they get illegal access to ss#s and his birth certificate?
what about supposed “adoption” records?
e-verify?
The comments at that site offer a telling look at the birther base. Sometimes, though, I have no idea what those folks are saying, e.g. just after your post someone left this chestnut:
“We’re going to have a curse period in our country. But it hasn’t happened yet. BO just shows us kind of what the curse period will be like when it happens. Notice how everything that he does turns out to be no good for him and us.
“Well, just a few decent years left. That is no joke. Then we get to experience a curse period that really hasn’t started as of yet, but we’re getting a true taste of it with BO.”
Curse period? Is that hipster slang for menstruation?
Liked the PHC reference!
They say that there is a first time for everything.
Remembering the studies looking into biological predispositions to left- / right- wing thinking, I am again wondering about the correlations between sense of humor and political leanings. 😉
… that between humor and intelligence *cough*
Foggy, you got to love those predictable responses! Almost like you pulled a string on a winger’s back!
John:
If I am correct
They say that there is a first time for everything
.
there is no cat in the tree that john is barking at, never was. What’s amazing is that after every failure he bounces back with silly prdictions, such strong delusions!
Certainly not in Hawaii. Law enforcement isn’t mentioned in 338-18. I think that might be covered under court orders, as law enforcement would go to a judge and get an order.
In California, anyone can get an informational copy of a birth certificate. However, law enforcement specifically can get a full “authorized copy” and isn’t required to have a notarized application if done by mail.
Well, it’s been a quiet week in Lake Obegone, my home planet, here on the fringe of reality.
Our local team, the Leos, has been gearing up for the big game, by taking off their helmets and charging into walls at high speed. The local sheriff, a humble man, is holding a press conference announcing his next press conference, just to make sure everyone is satisfied that he’s no glory hound.
That’s the news from Lake Obegone, where all the women are dentists, the men are looking under the beds, and the children are quietly filing emancipation petitions.
Let’s not forget…..the posse has no – zip, zero, nada – legal authority, no police powers and no prosecutor is going to take up their work as the basis for any action.
Arpaio will weasel. The only question is how.
The posse isn’t “law enforcement”. They are non-sworn (no police powers) volunteers.
No. No and no.
Speaking of law enforcement’s powers I noticed on N.C.I.S. last night that Gibbs asked about a warrent coming through before he attached a GPS tracker to a car, per the SCOTUS ruling.
Pretty much matches my predictions from more than 2 months ago.
Then again, after hearing (on birfer sites) Joe will only announce a “preliminary report”, it’s probably going to contain even less tangible information and more ominous allusions along the lines of “we found many suspicious things, but we cannot comment on any of them for strategic purposes, and we’ll have to dig deeper for another 3-5 months, please send money and I’ll stack up the posse by another 3 douche… uh… expert investigators.”.
> I put this in Google Translate English –> German –> Chinese (Traditional) –> Spanish –> Russian –> English
Usually juggling a few times between English and French produces results that are funny enough. I used to do that with song lyrics, Alanis Morissette works especially well. 🙂
WND is reporting that AP, Reuters, Univision, the Washington Times and NBC, CBS and ABC affiliates, as well statewide radio networks, among many others are planning to attend the press conference tomorrow.
Might be a lie, but that would be a particularly stupid lie even for WND.

WND is reporting that AP, Reuters…..
lol
i ordered extra caramel corn for the occasion
So where’s the best seat on the webz for this? Assuming, which would be an absolutely valid assumption, that I have no interest whatsoever in signing anything WND-ish.
Lawyers and courts police law enforcement. Or, as a lawyer I know said, ‘lawyers police the police.’
I going 180 from most other predictors.
The “posse” is composed of real lawyers and former investigators who work under the color of law.
The information on the birth certificates has been confirmed by multiple Hawai’ian officials and must be accepted at face value.
Orly and the flying monkeys will be run over by the bus when the investigators note that relevant prosecutors were advised that there is evidence that they are colluding to violate laws restricting dissemination and access to personal data on government web sites.
SSN fraudgate is completely unsupported due to the unreliability of the data.
The President was forced to get a new SS# due to Orly and her flying monkeys.
As official investigators, their decisions must be based on the current interpretation of law therefore natural born citizenship must be considered as based on U.S. vs. Wong and the actions of Obama’s parents (Soebarko, Soetero) cannot change his citizenship status so those accusations were not considered other than to state that none of the information provided to the Posse constituted evidence of adoption, fraud on the part of The President, or fraud by anyone against any institution within the United States.
Birthers decry that Sheriff Joe was replaced by a doppelganger.
Remember, birthers are experts of playing up expectations right up until their failure.
