The Hook
Recently, we were the reluctant recipient of an adorable email entitled "Dog Sense" which featured facts about dogs such as "Do you know that dogs can detect cancer and other serious illnesses and danger of fire?" and ended with a captivating photo of an English pointer lifting his leg on an Obama 2008 lawn sign. We were not amused.
Which is not to say that we haven't been amused. Take for instance, Christopher Beam's piece in Salon Rumors Obama Shouldn't Try to Correct in which he suggests that Obama start his own rumors like "Barack Obama is a DEVOUT CHRISTIAN. His favorite book is the BIBLE, which he has memorized. His name means HE WHO LOVES JESUS in the ancient language of Aramaic. He is PROUD that Jesus was an American." We also found the satirical offerings of the Public Service Administration amusing, as well as Jon Stewart's direct confrontation of the issues.
In the interest of balanced reporting of what has amused us, we offer this fact check video about Cindy McCain as well as "He Said It First" another Public Service Administration's offering, which you may not want to play on in front of granny or the boss.
Tee hee as they say in polite circles.
Photo note: The hook
Addendum: Take a quiz
