re: #204 funky chicken
Sadly, my dad has fallen in with the Tea Party crowd. I get all the loony emails. Sigh. My husband and I respond sometimes to the obviously counter-factual and alarmist ones.
I was getting some pre-Tea Party stuff from my dad a few years ago, along with the typical urban legend shit (don’t microwave food in plastic, gangs at the mall, etc.) A few well-placed Snopes links and some blunt critiques of the Fox News ones eventually stopped them.
