Now that I understand Mr. David Mash's pain, I have removed that post.

And yet you responded. How quaint.

You think your posts are full of insight and revelation?

You have no sources. It has been disproved. The BC are available and have been authenticated. Nothing you have posted in any thread has disproved that.

I'll take my company on this thread over yours any day of the week.

I guess you didn't notice this thread isn't about the BC.
It actually precedes the BC controversy by some 21 years.
So do a fact check on the original source article and not some lame birther dodge.

It is about the BC in that there is yet another not being accusation about Obama not being born in the US. How is that not about the BC?

As pointed out the publisher is out of business and the authors are not returning calls. I wonder why????

Well, that was fun.

I just talked to a film Producer I know and asked him if he had seen this. He had not but he just blew it off as padding of a resume. He sees it all the time when someone is trying to land a role or sell a book or push a product.

He once hired a PR firm to flak for him and he was shocked to see how awesome he was. He reminded me that Bill O'Reilly used to claim he had won a Peabody Award or two when there was no truth to the story at all, and Bill finally backed down after Al Franken called him on it.

He also pointed out that authors usually don't write their own releases. The publisher does and the publisher wants to sell books. If they have to fudge the truth to make a few bucks then what's the harm? It's all show biz anyway.

He reminded me that in the 1880's the phrase 'Direct from their performance before the crowned heads of Europe' became popular. Since then actor's claims have just gotten wilder. Just recently some right wing author was called out for claiming he had been 'nominated' for two Pulitzer Prizes. The problem with this claim is that the only one who had nominated him had been himself when he filled out an application to be considered for the Prize. But all in all authors do this sort of thing all the time.

Like Roger Rabbit once said when asked if he could do something. "Only when it was funny." Publishers do this only when it will help them sell books.

So..... Business as usual.

Possible.
It was done to me by an employer trying to get more work. He knew I knew my job, and was beyond qualified, but the educational background didn't reflect that. So my BS degree in Bible became a BS in education, and Masters in Religious Ed became a Masters in Ed. All done w/o my knowledge or permission.
