Anatomy of an Impeachable Felony
It turns out that there are more forged elements to the released birth certificate used by Obama to claim citizenship than I had seen. A typesetter has analyzed the document more fully and has found several individual "smoking gun" indicators of document forgery that seems to qualify as felonious fraud. If this is ever taken up by the Congress, it could be seen as an impeachable offense even independently of the question of where Obama was actually born.

In Photoshop, I examined this up close.
You can clearly see that the red lines do not match up with the curving of the letters.
So, I then drew a line that follows the top curved letters, copied it, and dragged it down. Here.
This guy blatantly drew straight lines to make it appear that the letters are straight, but the letters curve. You can clearly see "Kapiolani" curving down on the left, in spite of his tricksy red lines.
I'm old school, and here's how I did it. I took the document on acrobat, magnified by 600%. Then I taped a ruler, physically, to the screen exactly on a grid line, before it bent to the left. Then I simply scrolled the document up and down.
Clearly the lines and boiler plate form text curve, while the added text does not.
Try it my way, it's possibly too simple, or maybe it is parsimonious.
It is easy to be fooled by an artifact: the added text is wavy and irregular, so that must be integrated out, meaning a rather long piece of text must be used.
You can't physically tape a ruler to your screen, because it might not be level.
I used a perfectly straight line tool with Photoshop to draw guides, here.
You can clearly see the upward tilt of the letters, where the "a" is within the lines, the "p" is shifted up a bit, and the "i" even more. Not to mention both arms of the "K" are tilted upwards.
I then cut the letters out and dragged them down so that they are level, here.
Open both in browser tabs, and you can flip back and forth to compare.
It doesn't have to be level, it only needs to be parallel. The question refers to parallelism, not level.
I think that you are caught up in local noise variation, rather than over-all drift.
Try to do the same thing for the entire line, averaging out the ups and downs. In other words, it is not the local variation taken in isolation, it is the end drift with respect to the entire line: does the end drift more than the normal noise of the entire line?
Ok try this. Draw a straight line from the base of the first "i" in Kapiolani past the base of the second "i" in Kapiolani, then to the base of the "i" in Maternity.
These appear to come pretty close to each other.
Then look at the first and second "a" in Kapiolani, and the "a" in Maternity.
I'm interested in what you get...
I forgot to say... also extend the line to the base of the "i" in Hospital, which is at the right end of the word sequence and more toward the center of the page.
See my picture here.
And then here.
This can turn out to be bigger than Watergate.
Son of a witch. My first link was supposed to be this.
The line below "kapiolani" appears to drop three pixels (or green squares), while the word itself drops only one. I still think that the drop of the word "Kapiolani" is within the noise level of the typed letters on the line.
I'm not sure I understand the granularity, because the black pixels are about 1/4 the granularity of the background. For instance the top of the "K" on the left has a single black square sticking up that is about 1/4 of the nearby background pixels. But there are no 1/4 size background squares.
Also the background pattern does not bend with the paper bend (More obvious at the very top and very bottom).
There is a parallax issue: The bend in the paper seems pretty consistent, top to bottom, but the lines at the bottom of the form do not bend consistently, with some of them being essentially straight, and the bottom form line seeming to go up slightly, not down. This doesn't seem consistent with scanning, but more consistent with single lens photography. This would also be consistent with the blurring of the letters in the bend, which are blurred at the top of the document, and crisp at the bottom: the lens would have been placed closer to the bottom and the depth of field adusted accordingly. Oddly, the "S" in "State of Hawaii" at the top is quite crisp, despite being well into the bend.
Also, in box 2, the word "male" is descending only on the first leg of the capital M, and descends only 1/4 pixel, while the line below has descended 3/4 pixels.
Darn, I wish I had some decent drawing software.
Re: "Kapiolani" dropping less
It drops the same amount as the line below it, as seen here.
Re: "Male" dropping less
The entered information is typed with a typewriter onto the form, and so it will not always line up perfectly with the form itself, as seen here. This point applies to the above as well.
Re: green background
The background is a texture placed behind the entire thing, as can be seen where it extends beyond the border of the scan.
Re: the parallax issue
This is consistent with pushing a thick book onto a scanner. I tried it with a phonebook and got the same thing, as can be seen here. It curves down at the top, then levels off near the bottom and even curves upward a bit at the bottom, just like the birth certificate.
