Break out the marshmallows!

Today’s offerings constitute a rare, double-Pants on Fire! day here at PolitiFact.com.

Readers asked us to check a claim that the Senate passed a bill giving

Social Security benefits

to illegal immigrants. Guess what? It’s wrong!

Glenn Beck, meanwhile, said that President Barack Obama’s top science adviser “has proposed forcing abortions and

in the drinking water to control population.” That’s wrong, too.

Don’t forget, our site is highly sortable, so you can view our complete file of
