The reason our country is in so much economic and social trouble is because our news agencies feed us these silly stories rather than REAL news with REAL analysis.

They say you cannot choose your family but you can choose your pastor. I wonder if rev. Wright is family to Obama. I guess that would put the issue to bed.

We are all descendant from Adam and Eve, so we're all cousins. Psh.

Judging from the "mis-statements" coming from Hillary, I'm sure there's a relationship to Joseph Goebbels in her past.

We've all heard these relations before. As it turns out, we are all related to VIPs in some way or another. It's just a variation on six degrees of separation.
