Visiting Chip Maxwell's blog this morning, I discovered a post very helpful to appreciating an e-mail I (like Chip) had found several times in my inbox the last few days. Here's how Chip describes it:The remission of my McCain Derangement Syndrome has been aided by John McCain's declaration that the U.S. should drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. An anonymous e-mail about drilling in ANWR is making the rounds. I checked it out at Snopes.com.
I don't know who or what Snopes is. I don't know why Snopes should be considered neutral and authoritative, but it is considered a go-to source for checking the validity of claims made in e-mails and web sites.
Snopes calls the presentation "scant and one-sided," but seems to grudgingly acknowledge the validity of the pictures and facts presented.
