Metal pendants using key stock and a heatsink off of a cpu. The heatsink I drilled the constellations cassiopeia to reveal the copper underneath. by mudslagin somethingimade

That's a good question, in all honesty this is the image I used for the design. From what I could find, it's called Theta Cassiopeiae or Marfak/Marfark. This was my first test piece in this manner and wanted a simple constellation that would fit as evenly as I could get into the tiny area I had to work with and still look ok.

That's called a red herring, what the article is about and what you are rambling on about are still two different things.

Why would they, this is less news then some of the other issues to pop up. This is even the first Iv heard about this issue and Iv been following the birther issue from the start. Not even the birther sites have posted about it in the past.

Again can you say mistake? They obviously had some bio info, maybe someone wrote down the wrong info when it came to his father and put Barack down as born there as well. Doing so maybe they felt they had the correct info and didnt need to double check, it was just a simple bio, not an affidavit. If they didnt check with him, neither would have know to correct it till after it was already done. Given that Obama left that publisher, maybe he left before the booklet was done in the first place.

It's rather unfortunate, don't you think, that this error just happens to accord with the birtherist conspiracy? Who knows - it could be that tihs was the origin of it.

Yes it is unfortunate, as if it was the origin and this was a simple mistake, look at how much time, money and energy was wasted over something so little.

Publishers are people and people can make mistakes. Part of a publishers job is to promote. The literary assistant could have taken some basic bio info and embellished the info for promoting purposes for all you know. Or maybe he just wrote down the wrong info, so instead of his father being born there, he put Barack down as born there instead. The guy who wrote it did come out to say it was a mistake after all.

Why would a publisher be more careful with Obama then any other client? It wouldnt be the first time in history something was printed to turn out to be a mistake. Why should this be any different? If you want to talk assumptions, maybe dont assume it wasn't a mistake.

Meant the book "Journeys in Black and White", the booklet was just bios of the authors represented by Acton & Dystel. The booklet is akin to a company memo about something else coming out later. In this case the book but that book was never published.

The info on the website was a copy/paste job. Prob taken from the exact same booklet of bios from the 90+ authors. And chances are were copy/pasted by a web master who didnt read what was being posted on the site. Who's job was to post bios of clients, including past clients like Obama. Talk about a mountain out of a mole hill.

I could very well be wrong but a few puzzle pieces dont create a full picture nor does that mean the picture you want it to be mean it will truly end up being. As for being published, Im talking about the booklet itself, that was never published, that doesn't mean the information that was in it was thrown away.

The info you speak of was a paragraph long bio that matches to that in the caption of the image from the link above. It was published on a web site along with bio info from other people that was linked to the publisher. Again the booklet was never published for the original use it was created for.

To me, that tells me that the publisher kept the bio info because Obama even back then was making a name for himself. That was something that linked him to them and was something to add to the other client bios. And again it looks to be a copy/paste job of the info that already had. Anyone who has done basic web work will tell you that copy/paste of info, specially if its not custom code, is just part of the job. Not something a web master will proof read or fact check. Which also tells me that when it was noticed, it was taken down.

My main point is why are liberals dismissing this as crazy talk when they have no proof to substantiate their assumptions

Prob because conservatives are willing to call a mistake "proof of a conspiracy" and are unwilling to accept that a mistake could actually be a mistake. Why must you jump to the assumption that it's not a mistake? You see what you want to see, regardless of the other options that could be.

You call Obama's BC forged regardless of the FACT that the GOP as a whole, including the very top of the top, accept the BC as real. By not taking that into consideration you are basically saying they are part of the vast conspiracy. One of the largest ever so called created. Think about it, if there was ANY legitimacy to this, the GOP/Right would OWN all three branches of gov for the next two decades. Yet they sit back and do nothing. So either they are a part of it, or they know its nothing more then a fringe movement that they are hoping to quietly gain from but know it's truly real.

Also it's not customary to have birth announcements in newspapers of kids born in another country. He was also born a citizen, American mom and all that. So that wasn't about him getting his citizenship as some like to claim.

He won't be re-elected.

Exact same thing was said about Bush, look where that ended up. Don't count your chickens just yet.

I asked for you to explain the wild coincidence of this "mistake" happening at a time when it didnt even matter and explain why it happened multiple times over 17 years without correction by anyone.

Just because it's wild doesn't mean it cant be a coincidence. As for the repeated mistake, it looks like it was a copy/paste job that someone didnt bother reading. Seems like a simple mistake, nothing tin foil worthy.

Where did they get the idea that he was Kenyan and why didn't he correct it. I don't believe for one second that this lady made it up out of nowhere, in error.

His father was from Kenya and given that literary "assistant" that wrote it, its feasible that person took some liberty fluffing up the piece. Obama left the publisher there after and the booklet was never published for public use.

When Obama's campaign started in 2007... they then wanted to correct it.

Maybe it wasn't noticed till then??? There's a thought.

Is he a race baiting opportunist using lies to sell books or a Kenyan born scumbag that deserves to be impeached.

How is the Kenya issue race baiting? You are the one bringing up race, that would make you the baiter. As for impeachment, take out the Kenya issue, to which you cant prove, nothing else he has done qualifies as illegal and you can't impeach just because you dont like someone. Try growing up a little.

Either way this doesn't end well for him.

Actually this wont have any affect at all.

the actual book was non published, the info was copy and pasted onto the site. Maybe someone who's job it was to repost stuff already in the system and didnt bother to read it.

Maybe because this isnt about Obama being born in Kenya.

It was never published and he left about the time that it was created for another publisher.
