Filed under: Election 2008

We talked about 'em on today's show. Lysandra Ohrstrom explodes 'em (well, most of 'em) in the Huffington Post.

Entertaining stuff, but I'm a little confused by rumor #5 and how they could mistake Bangladesh as an "African" country. (The last time I checked, Bangladesh was over by India and Myanmar in South Asia.) Was that a HuffPost mistake or was that actually a part of the original rumor?

I also hear there is some crazy rumor going around about Barack Obama being black. I mean, really? What is up with that?

On that note (?), What ever happened to our favorite Loud Perennial Presidential Candidate (a.k.a. an ALPPC), Alan Keyes? Is he not bringing in enough moola to warrant press coverage or something?
