Over at Politifact.com they have come up with a little comic timeout from the usual grind of exposing politicians lies and half-truths. 
They are offering an online guide that compiles their fact-checking and refuting of all those bizarre chain emails we all receive. So, when your crazy uncle brings up some nonsense about Barack Obama or John Boehner, you are ready with your printout.

Here’s how Adair explains it:

“You love your uncle, but you could do without all those chain emails that he forwards to you, the ones that claim the government is forcing you to get rid of your light bulbs, that ‘Obamacare’ is going to put a tax on home sales and that President Barack Obama fits the biblical description of the Antichrist. (Note to uncles: We’re not really singling you out. Chain emails get forwarded by aunts, grandparents and plenty of other relatives.)

“So as part of our Message Machine partnership with NPR, PolitiFact has put together this handy guide to chain emails and other viral messages. Hide it under the green bean casserole and you can pull it out if your uncle brings up the chain emails.”
