Yesterday, with the release of his long-form birth certificate, President Obama (hopefully) laid to rest the issue surrounding where he was born, even though it should never have been an issue to begin with. All day I was walking around angry that this was ever taken seriously by some people and even angrier at the news media for giving those people a platform to be heard. I was all set to go on a 2,000 word rant about the need for editorial discretion in the face of having to fill 24 hours or programming... and then "The Daily Show" took care of it for me. Consider this my long-form version of a re-Tweet.
