Snopes

Whenever I receive an email regarding the latest/greatest web virus from one of my not-so-techy friends, if it contains anything remotely believable, I go to Snopes to read more. Even though viruses aren't really designed for the MAC so much as Bill G. and his long list of friends, it occurs to me that if my 15" Intel MacBook Pro 160 GB hard drive ever failed, I'd poop pink twinkies and contort all 5'8" of me into the fetal position next to Elwood's litter box for a month.

Sarah Palin is, at least to me, like a web virus. There must be at least one redeeming quality about her in order for her to land support of the top Republican spindoctors in America. So what the hell am I missing?

In order to be as fair and balanced as possible, I am compelled to share the following page from Snopes - the Internet's unofficial site for rumors, fact checking, etc. I rely on this site as it is all about the facts so far as I can tell, and I have yet to find anything that's been confirmed/denied by Snopes that was done so for political gain. Bottom line, snopes.com has a solid reputation not just in my book but throughout the Internet world. Wikipedia can't boast that status, nor can Fox News, McCain/Palin.com OR Obama/Biden.com. All of these resources are politically motivated, or, in the case of Wikipedia, can be edited by those who are.

I'll post more in the morning. Just got home from a wonderful night with 4 of my favorite girlfriends and it's time for my nine-hour nap.
