Piranhas attack beachgoers

Open season on tourists. I think that people should develop a taste for
fried piranhas to thin out the population. Until then, maybe it will be
best swim in the pool instead. Seems like the beach is really overrated
unless you like getting your feet and legs nipped by swarms of mini
sharks.

I don't understand why this lady is so obsessed with the issue of
Obama's birth certificate. The whole conspiracy is for what? To have a
black president? It seems like a whole lot of wasted effort. But what I
don't understand is if his mother is a US citizen, why should it matter
where he was born? Shouldn't he be a US citizen too? But I think that
some people will find anything to complain about. It really is not that
serious. Too bad they are wasting precious energy on this instead of
doing something productive like charity work.
