    Read daily from bookmark. Check often

  2. DG says:

    I have it bookmarked as well or type in the address, depending on the computer I’m using.

  3. RuhRoh says:

    I just check in periodically. I don’t follow in any sort of organized fashion.

  4. Keith says:

    One of 5 ‘home pages’ in Firefox that load at startup time.

  5. Jamese777 says:

    Originall found this site via a google search, bookmarked it and read it from my bookmark daily.

    How does Doc.C. know that we are “unique individuals?” Some of us are Obama-clones.
    CLONE-POWER!

  6. G says:

    Ditto.

    I come here enough that I don’t even need the bookmark at all. I just type “o” in my browser and it is remembered as a recently visited site and pops right up. All I have to do then is hit enter & voila!

    I’m surprised that Dr. C. left out bookmarks and just typing the address from memory as choices…when so many of your responders are choosing “Other”, than your option choices are insufficient and don’t include the most likely choices.

    DG: I have it bookmarked as well or type in the address, depending on the computer I’m using.

  7. Paper says:

    I follow site by keeping it as one of my windows on my browser that I check round-robin with news sites and other sites on which I regularly keep tabs.

  8. Paper says:

    Oh, I sometimes just “type O” like G says. Depending on where I am when I am checking.

  9. Daniel says:

    Check the site daily

  10. Thinker says:

    Ditto–bookmarked.

  11. US Citizen says:

    Bookmarked.

  12. J. Potter says:

    found through google search
    visit daily the lazy way, relying on FF’s url autocomplete
    track conversations wiht “recent comments”
    have never dug into the archives (my loss)
    the people, sense of humor, atmosphere of academic inquiry, and consistency, make it a great place

    I do wish there was a greater variety in the conspiracies re: Obama, but birtherism knocks everything else aside. not OCT’s problem … Obama could help by being more controversial, less squeaky clean, and the nuts could get some more sophitication. Maybe next year.

    How about a sister site, “Rational Objections to Obama”, since rationally opposing theman seems to be hard to do? Develop policy and ideological memes that are reasonable objections, for people who for whatever reason can’t stand him, but wish to avoid the trap of birtherism. Could also be a resource for recovering birthers. No doubt it would be a spectacular dud.

  13. sfjeff says:

    I just check regularly. I get amusement here.

    First good site I found when I started looking up idiotic comments about Obama not being eligible.

  14. Can't Stand the Heat says:

    Bookmarked… check daily… I’ve lurked for a couple years… intelligent discussions… fun to read

  15. I found my way here from PJ/Fogbow & check in periodically ( a couple times a week ) or when Fogbow says there’s something especially interesting or good here 🙂

  16. Arthur says:

    Me too.

  17. Majority Will says:

    I just know.

  18. Northland10 says:

    I should mention that I subscribe to the regular RSS and the Comment RSS (and thank you for the comment RSS).

  19. CarlOrcas says:

    I have it on my favorites list and visit several times a day.

  20. chancery says:

    I read your site daily. The recent comments section alerts me to ongoing activity in posts that aren’t on the first page. I don’t have much use for twitter.

  21. G says:

    I also do this quite often.

    Paper: I follow site by keeping it as one of my windows on my browser that I check round-robin with news sites and other sites on which I regularly keep tabs.

  22. G says:

    Same technique here.

    First, I look for new blog entries. Then I use the recent comments section, as J. Potter described.

    J. Potter: track conversations wiht “recent comments”

  23. ZixiOfIx says:

    I subscribe to the RSS feed and the Twitter feed, and check the shite manually for comments from time to time.

    I use different methods since I have different devices (pad, smart phone, laptop, etc,) which have their own strengths and weaknesses. So how I read depends on where I am and what bit of technology is at hand.

    Love your site. Thank you for your dedication to the truth.

  24. Bob J says:

    Fascinated by the birther logic, and all the crazy places it goes. I mostly went to the Taitz site because of the public meltdowns. The Stephen Colbert thing was hilarious , and I don’t think she realizes she was being mocked.

    After tiring of Orly and her band of merry morons, I typed Obama Birth Conspiracy into google. The first place I went was Fellowship of the Minds. Quite possible the worst blog ever.

    I remember scrolling through 2 or 3 pages of sites before I got to this one, so maybe I typed something else. I thought it would be another birther site. I am so glad I was wrong.

    The design, the discussions, the organization all said; this is a place for information.

    It is now bookmarked, and one of my favorite sites.

    Seriously, the B.C background made me laugh out loud. Dr. C, you have created a great site.

    Same here. I have it bookmarked on Favorites, and check at least once a day. I cannot walk more than ½ block since the stroke.

  26. DaveH says:

    Bookmarked since I found the website in 2009. Read it at least once a week if not more.

  27. Tomtech says:

    I voted manually, since clicking the bookmark is a manual action.

  28. WT says:

    Bookmarked and RSS feed.

    A guilty pleasure. Stupid people (bifers) doing dumb things is what passes for entertainment for me these days.

    Exactly. It is one thing to study the various forms of cognitive bias in class. It is quite another to witness it in progress, as it evolves and changes to adapt to reality.

    I hack my way through 50 miles of jungle everyday to get to the trading post where the white man lets me check out the site on his amstrad while I drink monkey urine.

    Impressive!

    Have you ever run into Inspector Smith (I presume)?

  32. El Diablo Negro says:

    Bookmarked

  33. Scientist says:

    My staff checks the site and prepares a digest for my daily briefing, so I will have to check with them as to how they stay abreast of the rapidly changing situation. Keep up the good work Doc.

    says it all

    I lurk, yes, but read recent items at least once a week…. super site and thanks to Doc C and the commenters!

    Ferris, you’re my hero.

    Everyone needs a Situation Room. My S.R. has excellent plumbing.

  37. G says:

    Bueller…. Bueller….

    😉

    Thomas Brown: Ferris, you’re my hero.

  38. The Magic M says:

    I come around 2-3 times per day (except weekends), it’s in my “most visited sites” overview in Google Chrome.

    Comes second after Post & Email (I check there first for the latest whacky stuff); third is BadFiction, fourth Orly, fifth NativeBornCitizen. If I have time, I check WND and use the opportunity they’re having a non-censored comments section right now. 😉

  39. Jody says:

    Bookmarked, Follow on Twitter, RSS feed for comments. I’m addicted to watching the birthers twitch and drool.

    Sir Henry Morton Stanley, GCB, was a Welsh journalist and explorer famous for his exploration of Africa and his search for David Livingstone. Upon finding Livingstone, Stanley allegedly uttered the now-famous greeting, “Dr. Livingstone, I presume?”

    Stanley travelled to Zanzibar in March 1871 and outfitted an expedition with the best of everything, requiring no fewer than 200 porters. This 7,000 miles (11,000 km) expedition through the tropical forest became a nightmare. His thoroughbred stallion died within a few days after a bite from a Tsetse fly, many of his carriers deserted and the rest were decimated by tropical diseases.

    Stanley found Livingstone on 10 November 1871, in Ujiji near Lake Tanganyika in present-day Tanzania, and…greeted him with the now-famous, “Doctor Livingstone, I presume?”
