  She might be trying to play the race card by way of defending Carreon.

  "It's against the law to represent a charity without a contract. It's against the law for a charity not to monitor rogue fundraisers."
  
  You might want to check out Popehat's analysis of that claim.

  Start at the words "Sweet Charity:" in the article "The Oatmeal v. FunnyJunk, Part V: A Brief Review of Charles Carreon's Complaint"
  
  Mr. Carreon appears to have misread the statute.

  "Both sides of Charles' family, the Ainsa/Anzas and the Carreons, were Spanish Conversos."
  
  His ancestry is not relevant to this discussion. Your insistence upon bringing it up is perplexing.

  This may in fact be a marketing ploy by the lawyer in question. If he wants to deliberately seek out technologically illiterate clients for Internet related litigation then he's going about it the right way. He's getting his name associated with all the right keywords.

  "they aren't "false facts," just "satire." Where is the dividing line?"
  
  Believability and the "reasonable man" test is a good place to start. No one in their right mind would believe FunnyJunk's mother was trying to seduce a bear. The image is absurd. It's juvenile and cruel, but also absurd. Accusing Rush Limbaugh of being a closeted homosexual on the other hand is more dangerous ground. The Republican issues with homophobes being outed as closeted gays, and Rush's regrettable incident of smuggling black market Viagra on an "All boy's" fishing trip to a tropical region lends a certain believability to accusing Rush Limbaugh of being a homosexual.

  What point are you trying to make?
  
  I've seen the "American Buddha" web site. That site and The Oatmeal seem fairly well matched in terms of the maturity level of your humor, although Matt tends to be funnier.

  What actual evidence do you have that he's not going to donate the full sum to charity?

  Seriously? Is that the best you've got, playing the race card when NONE of the arguments against your husband have been about race?
