SNOPES is our friend

In this day and age, it's hard to believe how many urban legends I receive from family (Rick and mine.)

Have they never heard of SNOPES?

The big target right now is Barack Hussein Obama. He gets it for his names (middle and last), he gets it for his dad's religion (Muslim), he gets it for being a black man seeking the presidency.

Of course, the people who send the stupid e-mail claim they are not "prejudiced." They just "didn't know" it was an urban legend. Um, yeah, TRY THE NEWS!

My favorite response is a SNOPES link (to the UL) and a snarky, "Did you win any international lotteries lately?"
