I emerged squalling from the nether regions of a human female. She seemed upset at the time.

"...the circumstances of your birth"? What does that even mean?

"...Form DS-5513 asks for all addresses since birth; lifetime employment history including employers’ and supervisors names, addresses, and telephone numbers; personal details of all siblings; mother’s address one year prior to your birth; any “religious ceremony” around the time of birth; and a variety of other information. According to the proposed form, “failure to provide the information requested may result in … the denial of your U.S. passport application.”

Good thing I didn't want a passport anyway.

Holy carp! Would anyone who wasn't institutionalized for OCD even know all of that? K

Now *there* is some institutional grade irony...I'd love to see some "other folks" provide that kind of documentation.

Yeah. Barak? Barak? Let's see how you fill out that form.

(And I'm not just talking birther stuff, but the whole way the sketchy pieces of his history don't seem to fit together.)

The rotten police state scum. The purpose is to stop people from having passports and getting out of the little totalitarian hell they are busy creating.

My son Gray is having the same sort of ridiculous runaround with the State department over his passport.
His mother and I were "dropped out - off the screen hippies" when he [and his sister] was/were born and they did not get birth certificates.
Now he wants one and is having to jump through numerous hoops to get it.
[I don't plan on ever leaving so don't need any form of "ear tag" thank you very flipping much]
