Orly Taitz is loosing her marbles. Okay, we knew that already, but now the dentist/lawyer/Birther-diva is really going bonkers/bughouse looney because she’s been immortalized by pancake portaitist Dan Lacey who’s painted numerous politicians–including the Red (State) Queen of  (Mad) Tea Parties Sarah Palin–with pancakes.

You’d think Orly would be thrilled to be in the illustrious company of flapjack wears like John McCain, Cindy McCain and Charlie Crist, but Orly sees Lacey’s portraits of her as more persecution by Obama and his goon squads. According to Mother Jones, Dr Taitz:

maintains that the painting titled Orly Taitz, Pancake Birther actually portrays her holding a placenta rather than a pancake. “This is really despicable,” she says, theorizing that one of her many political enemies put Lacey up to the work. But she says she’s more concerned about the effect the paintings are having on her children.

Now art is not only what the painter paints, but how it is interpreted by the viewer. Dr Taitz sees placenta. She may want to see a shrink. I looked at Pancaker Birther, and the pseudo-crepe in question definitely resembles an IHOP Rooty Tooty Fresh N Fruity strawberry pancake. While I’ve never seen a placenta up close, I doubt they have a melting pat of butter.

Artist Lacey told Mother Jones that the portrait was commissioned, but declined to say for whom. On his site Faithmouse, Lacey takes suggestions from fans.

Lacey’s affordable political pancakes paintings are often for sale on eBay. Currently there’s Orly Taitz Pancake Burper for auction. Opening bid: $26.

It’s really stunning and tragically funny to read dentist Taitz’s rambling lawsuits and claims. In one, quoted by Mother Jones,  she says she running for California Attorney General, though in fact she’s a candidate for Secretary of State.  And in a December 2009 filing, reported by the OC Register ,she states on page 4 of the document that Mr. Velamoor, a clerk in the Orange County court is connected with Obama through Communist institutes of higher learning and via Mercer Island, WA. Because the clerk was also an employee of the law firm Perkin Cole which represented Obama in eligibility legislation, he had

to be recused from assisting your owner.

Yup. She said “your owner.”

Gosh Florida just keeps getting zanier. Sure, along with being God’s Waiting Room, a theme-park megalopolis and the world headquarters of a goofy space alien religion, the state is also the home of holy homophobic hypocrite George “Rentboys” Rekers–and last week the state legislature declined to ban bestiality.

But today the wacky state of Eff-El-Lay just got way nuttier when the State Senate voted to ban “Truck Nutz,” decorative testicles that dangle from trailer hitches on cars and trucks from Tallahasse to the Keys. And the ban may cause a seminal rift in the state’s Republican Party which was already somewhat castrated by Charlie Crist’s anticlimactic departure.

Calling the dangling adornments offensive, Republican Sen. Cary Baker, a gun shop owner from Eustis, Florida led the no-balls brigade, while fellow GOP member Senate Rules Chairman Jim King would like to see the proposal sacked. King bagged on the measure and other Republicans also said bollocks to nanny state interference in vehicle decoration. While the measure got hung onto a broader transportation bill in the Senate, testicles are not attached to the House version.
