"You Say Obama is a Muslim? I'll call you a 3-watt bulb" by John Kelso, Austin American Statesman Tuesday November 4th 2008 B1 and B5
The article I digested talks about the lie being believed about Obama. The author says that 23% of 600 Texans polled by political scientist call Obama a Muslim. The national polls say 5% to 6% think Obama is a Muslim. Obama is a Christian. This author makes a joke about how these Texans are making us look even more stupid than usual since we have 4 times as many people saying they believe this lie.
He also has a theory about why Texans might be saying he is Muslim even if they don't really believe that. Maybe they just want to insult Obama because they don't like him and that saying they believe he is a Muslim. Then the author is sarcastic about why people would even think that was an insult.
In the end he say "On the other hand, I'm wondering now, what % of Texans believe in the correlation between stepping on a sidewalk crack and breaking your mother's back. It's probably pretty."
I liked this article because it was hysterical.

I liked your "on the other hand"!!! I think maybe 'digested" wasn't the best word to use. What is his theory that you mention?
Liking the Title!
