Six degrees of stuperation
CNN, evidently just so frickin' desperate for something, anything to run concerning the upcoming election, bravely reports the hard news:
Democratic Sen. Barack Obama, who has made his opposition to the Iraq war a linchpin of his campaign, is distantly related not only to President George W. Bush but also to another wartime leader -- former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
Because of his shared ancestry with President Bush, Obama is also indirectly related to his rival on the Republican side, Sen. John McCain.
McCain, it turns out, is a sixth cousin of First Lady Laura Bush.
Meanwhile, Sen. Hillary Clinton, is related to beatnik author Jack Kerouac, Canadian Prime Minster Pierre Trudeau and Camilla Parker-Bowles, wife of Prince Charles of England.
Oh, goody.
. . .
um -
AND?
THE HELL DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING, YOU WANKERS?
Hey, let's do an investigative report on whether or not any of 'em went to potty school! Eat your heart out, Edward Murrow!

The racism angle in the American election reminds me that all my ancestors came from Africa. But that's going way way back -- maybe more than a couple hundred generations. A lot of the family members just don't keep in touch any more.
