“Birther Bill” or “Born in the USA”

http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2011-04-15-arizona-birther-bill.htm

The Arizona Legislature has passed the nation’s first bill to require proof of citizenship by birth in the U.S. to get on the stat’s ballot in presidential elections.  That means that Arizona’s own John McCain wouldn’t be able to run for president since he was born before the Americas were even colonized.

Tea Party members say the bill is insufficient, since they believe that some U.S. birth documents are manufactured and imported from Kenya.

The Constitution does say that the president must have been born in the US, and in Arizona, they just want him or her to be able to prove it, especially if they look Mexican.

“Backpack Is Back”

An Arizona homeless man returned a backpack he found containing $3,300 in cash and a laptop computer at a light-rail station. For leaving a parcel at a rail station, the owner of the backpack is now being investigated by Arizona as a possible Hispanic.

The homeless man said that if he had kept the money, he wouldn’t be able to sleep at night. And there’s nothing worse than tossing and turning all night on a park bench.
