That is my usual course of action as well. But this was a cleverly disguised 'Fwd' email labelled 'Brad, Read This'. I should have known. :D

I responded with the snopes.com link and an actual Andy Rooney quote where he asks if the ten commandment supporters would support the Koran being placed next to or in place of their displays.

Oddly enough, I haven't heard back from Mother Dear.

I love the snopes point-by-point dissection of this email. Not only did it show what total BS it was - but it taught me a bunch about the art and use of symbols in the Supreme Court. Yay snopes!

the snopes link is here

Snopes was founded by satanists. That's on a plaque in the Supreme Court building.

Before there was Snopes, there was the Comimitte for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP).

Haaaaa

When we went to the Tori Amos show in Nashville, this little queen was perusing the tshirt table with his boyfriend and generally bitching about everything there. When he came upon the "Satin Worship" shirt, he mumbled...

" I don't think I could go out in public with 'Satan Worship' emblazoned across my chest"

GC- you are outpacing my mojo-bestowability. I (once again) owe you.:snap:

My mom is so funny sometimes. She sends me this email with about a thousand (not really a thousand, Leo) FWD's all over it. At the very bottom it says "Instructions for Life" and the rest of the 10 pages are pale yellow lettering on a white background. I can't read a single word. Ah, somethings never change. :D Yes, I can highlight it to read it, but I just thought it was funny.

AND when I tried to download it this is what I got:

No wonder you're gay. I see the references to Roman Wingdings.:)
