Somebody famous! I had the distinct displeasure of informing my father that he is Dubya's 12th cousin. Ugh. All with a grain of salt, though.

Ick. They have since moved to Jackson hole. Also, the cheney's plastered their name onto everything they could before they left town, its now on the local high school, municipal building, etc.<BR/><BR/>I am not related to anyone famous, myself. I guess it's up to me then to create that distinction in the family. I just hope it's not by me being featured on a "cops" episode or something like that! I hate when that happens.<BR/><BR/>AnnalisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-55222542628470420062009-02-01T14:52:00.000-08:002009-02-01T14:52:00.000-08:00Here's what I found on that subject.

His connection to Africa is directly through his father.<BR/><BR/>http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2380/1832830644_7aa4cdc88c.jpg<BR/><BR/>I was staying away from that topic, because Robb was teasing me about being related to Cheney.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03932975112078606231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-74039383939052595722009-02-01T14:29:00.000-08:002009-02-01T14:29:00.000-08:00hey there- hope you are feeling better. In case yo...hey there- hope you are feeling better. <BR/><BR/>In case you had forgot, the was a bit of a stink early on in the campaign when dick cheney's wife wrote a book and included their family tree in it. <BR/><BR/>Apparently the obamas had at one time been owned by the cheney's, in the way that one of obama's early kenyan relitives had been a slave of the cheneys. Also, the mccains also used to be slave owners. So, that being said, what the heck? <BR/><BR/> Is it a pre-requisite too have slave owners in the family line before you can be a Republican, or what?<BR/><BR/> AnnalisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
