Q: Is ACORN providing workers for the 2010 census?

Q: Is Obama planning to increase the federal tax on gun ammunition by 500 percent?
A: No such proposal has been made by the Obama administration. And nobody in Congress has introduced any bill to increase the 11 percent federal excise tax on ammo.

Q: Is it true that Al Gore's mansion uses significantly more energy than the typical home?
A: The main claim in a chain e-mail was true when the original message began making the rounds in 2007. Since then, the Gores have made several changes to their home.

Fact Check Weekly

Your info dose of what crazy lies are flying around the intertubes.

Q: Did Obama issue a policy that "no U.S. serviceman can speak at any faith-based public event"?
A: This claim in a chain e-mail is false. Army officials say there has been no change in policy regarding "faith-based" events. And the event the e-mail refers to wasn't a "faith-based" one.

Q: Would Senate bill 2099 put a yearly $50 tax on each privately owned firearm?
A: There is no such bill. A chain e-mail containing bogus claims refers to a bill that died more than eight years ago.

Weekly Ask Fact Check

A sampling of what's floating around in the intertubes from Fact Check.

Q: Did the Obama administration shut down a Georgia ammunition supplier? Is it trying to create an ammo shortage?
A: Georgia Arms still is doing booming business in reloaded military cartridges. The Pentagon quickly reversed a move to stop selling spent casings.

Q: Has Sotomayor written that states have the power to ban handguns?
A: A three judge panel that included Sotomayor issued an unsigned decision saying that the Second Amendment does not apply to states, therefore states can regulate and ban weapons.

Q: Would Sonia Sotomayor really be the first Hispanic on the Supreme Court?
A: Depending on your point of view, the late Benjamin Cardozo might be considered "Hispanic."

Just a taste of teh stupid that is going around the intertubes from our friends at Fact Check.

Q: Is Oklahoma as defiantly conservative as a chain e-mail says? A: The state is one of the most Republican in the nation, but the message exaggerates Oklahoma's laws on religion, immigration and guns.

Q: Did Michelle Obama make $317,000 a year while working part-time at the University of Chicago Medical Center?
