Salon.com: "Major, Glaring Flaws" In Forged Birth Certificate Filed By Jones and Davis in Federal Court

Alex Koppelman of Salon.com has been compiling the problems with the alleged birth certificate filed Friday by Orly Taitz, Rep. Tim Jones and Rep. Cynthia Davis in US District Court. 

[T]here are major, glaring flaws in this latest forgery, which is supposedly a copy produced in February of 1964 by the government of the Republic of Kenya (Obama was born in 1961, but the Birthers believe this particular document was related to his parents' divorce).

The biggest? Kenya gained its independence from the United Kingdom in December of 1963, but was known as the Dominion of Kenya until December of 1964 -- 10 months after this copy was allegedly made -- when it became a republic and changed its name.

There are some other basic issues with the document, including the age it gives for Obama's father, who's listed as 26. But Barack Obama Sr. was born in 1936, making him 24 or 25 at the time of his son's birth and 27 or 28 at the time the copy is dated.

If you need a few dozen new reasons why Jones, Davis, Orly and the whole bunch are off their respective rockers, read the whole thing here.
