Snopes isn't a "source", Snopes quotes sources. There is a source list on the bottom of every page, including the one Alex linked to. The link you provided doesn't even have a source. It says "Author Unknown" and even provides links to Snopes and another site that dispute the info.

ANYWAY - America is cool. I always remind myself on the 4th that when I'm unhappy with what goes on here, it's people I'm unhappy with, not America itself. America is an incredible happening and I'm glad to be here.

Dig!
