Someone sent around another stupid right winged racist anti-Obama rant. To all of the staff.
The part that really made me mad was the attached note that read, "You can check this out at Snopes.com. It's true!". Then when you went to Snopes, oops...it wasn't. It's the one about President Obama directing the US post office to make a stamp in celebration of a Muslim holiday.
I messaged back to everyone that the stamp has been in existence since 2001. That the President of the United States has nothing to do with selecting stamps and a link to the Citizen's Advisory Board of Stamps or whatever it's called. I also attached that Muslims are adherents of Islam like Christians are adherents of Christianity, and Arab is an ethnic designation like Caucasian; these words are not interchangeable, they are 3 different things.
I ended up having to tell an associate about it, b/c I discovered our summer clerk on the list, which was embarrassing. Now, they're all walking by my office and telling me not to buy that butterfly stamp. *snort*
