I just pulled up the snopes.com article about Barack Obama to quote at my mom over the phone, after she said said that she was worried "not so much about the black as the fact that he went to school at one of those, er, uh, what-you-calls." Sheesh. (She was thinking of "madrassa".)

It's a little sad that Snopes' primary focus seems to have gone from a cool online urban legend reference to a reliable source for quickly refuting the latest batch of screeching wingnut email forwards. But, I'm glad someone's doing it.
