#1 Look, if you have a Northern European ancestor in North America going back to the 1630s, you're probably related to me and *everyone else* with that ancestry. They have online you're-cousins-eleven-times-removed-with-Winston-Churchill applications which have *automated* this little parlor trick. This is how they discovered that Obama and Cheney are 'cousins'.

#3 We each have 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great grandparents, 16 great great grandparents... Even at 16, 15 of them had different last names. By the time you take this back to the 1600's, you're pretty well related to everybody.

#5 "Palin and Roosevelt are ninth cousins once removed."

When was she removed? Why was she removed? When did McCain know she was removed? How does this prove she's a racist?

#7 McCain ought to point out the smear Biden voiced on Obama's cousin, Cheney , in the VP debate.

#8 Madonna is my 6th cousin and Celine Dion my 8th cousin once removed. That's why I post anonymously.

#10 #7 McCain ought to point out the smear Biden voiced on Obama's cousin, Cheney , in the VP debate.

Wouldn't that make it a racist attack on the cousin of the one instead of a smear?
