Kissing Cousins

Pop culture doesn't usually hold much interest for me,but then again this isn't your run of the mill celebrity details. Barack Obama and Brad Pitt are ninth cousins,but wait,there's more! Obama and George Bush are also cousins and the list continues to include: Gerald Ford,Lyndon Johnson,Harry S. Truman,James Madison,Vice President Dick Cheney,Sir Winston Churchill and Civil War General Robert E. Lee. Just in case that doesn't leave you with enough to think about let us enter Hillary Clinton into the equation. As coincidence would have it Hillary and Angelina Jolie are ninth cousins! Clinton is also a distant cousin of Madonna,Celine Dion,Alanis Morissette,Camilla Parker Bowles, (how is that for irony?) and beatnik author Jack Kerouac. I could make several tasteless jokes at this point,but instead I will leave you to your own devices.
