[ale] Off topic - And now, Arizona

[Jeff Hubbs]

  What's funny about this is that Arizona's own John McCain is only for 
certain an American citizen by way of a targeted change in the law meant 
to erase any question as to his citizenship specifically (please 
Google/Snopes for details).  Before the change it was a bit of a 
judgment call, such that his citizenship was considerably more 
questionable than Obama's (although no reasonable person could claim 
that either man was "foreign-born" in any meaningful sense of the term).
