Fight disinformation: Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily newsletter and follow the news that matters.


I can’t decide whether the ongoing Birther resurgance is a) the usual wingnuts doing their usual wingnut thing, or b) a brilliant GOP tactical ploy to divert attention from health care reform. You? While you mull it over, 3 questions for your Monday mix:

1) Will health care reform actually happen?

2) Carbon footprint, sure. But what’s your water footprint?

3) Why is HBO’s 40-year-old co-creator of Hung claiming there are no talented and attractive actresses over 35?

Laura McClure hosts podcasts, writes the MoJo Mix, and is the new media editor at Mother Jones. Read her investigative feature on lifehacking gurus in the latest issue of Mother Jones.

Fact:
