I couldn't believe it, because he has a batting average on these things far below the Mendoza line. Kenny works his tail off each week (usually more than one job) and I always know when he has some time off, because I suddenly receive a wave of chain e-mails. They are usually patriotic, political, incendiary, and most often ... complete bullshit. Sometimes I don't wast my time and just hit delete right away, other times I laugh, or I blow a gasket and get worked up enough to reply to him and refer him, once again, to http://www.snopes.com/, the best place to fact-check urban legends and chain letters.
So in honor of cousin Kenny, and anyone else who forwards these obnoxious things around the Net without checking them first, here are some helpful links:
- Barack Obama is not a Muslim, did not get sworn in on the Koran, etc., etc., etc.
- Hillary Clinton did not help free two Black Panthers accused of torture and murder, etc., etc., etc., with some Bill Clinton thrown in for good measure.
- Mitt Romney and his dog.
- Mike Huckabee, his son, and the dog.
- John McCain
- and ... President George W. Bush!
