which is better?

1. Laughing/crying at the right-wing, loony spam mails I get from my kook of an Aunt.
   
2. Laughing at the "in no way related" e-mail containing the facts behind the rumors that inevitably follows a few days later

The latest example, a forward from the doublespeak-tastic 'American Family Council', with the subject line 'Fwd: If you think things are bad now, just wait....'

In case you may think I’m a “the sky is falling” type of person, you should know: When it comes to predictions, I am a very reserved person. But not on this one. I cannot overstate the damage a liberal victory will do to our country. The upcoming election is the most important in the history of our nation. Yes, if the liberals win you will lose some of your religious freedoms and free speech rights. Churches and pastors will not be exempt. You will not be allowed to say certain things about a particular group. Every item of the homosexual agenda will be approved. All the laws protecting the unborn will be wiped away.

And 5 days later, the next e-mail from her with the subject line, 'In Fairness to B. Obama. AND J. McCain.....Snopes.com' :

There are so many derogatory Political Emails floating thru space out there, that I am personally tired of having to wade thru them all - and acknowledge that it's hard to get the straight-forward Truth....

I think it might do us all well to consult those who have done the research on these (either bogus or real-truth) emails. (See links below)

My favorite part of the inevitable follow-up e-mail is the lack of self-awareness or any hint of an apology for adding to the onslaught of misinformation herself. Despite the fact that no one has asked her to, I'm glad she's warned us that she's "personally tired of having to wade thru" all those spam messages she passes along.

I've decided whenever I get baited into a political or religious discussion with my family, I'll make the saving throw by chiming in with, "While I appreciate that these Gay Agendas (*music sting*) make our meetings well organized, they're really making me re-think my conversion to Secret Islamism."
