"I Read It in an Email"

That's what one nice old lady in Iowa told me when I asked her how she was so sure Barack Obama was a Muslim. "My Right-Wing Dad" is an archive of such shady emails; right now it's just grimly amusing, but I could see it developing into a politics-centered snopes, perhaps specializing in the kind of flotsam that most MSM organizations never see (flyers about illegitimate black babies, notifying that the polls are closed, etc).
