All this really does is tie Stanley Ann Dunham to Palin and Rush. 0bama hasn’t proven he’s Stanley’s son, yet.

“Might you want to reconsider some of your recent comments, Mr. Limbaugh, now that you’re apparently family?”

Interesting that the author chose this phraseology, rather than the other way around.

"The world is full of wood piles.

LOL! Well said.

Genealogists must rely on documents, and no matter how well documented an ancestral line is, documentation cannot take into account such possibilities as babies switched at birth (remember Puddinhead Wilson?), maternal infidelity (anybody see the HBO series Rome?), clerical errors, etc.

Nucleic acid has changed all this to some extent, and will probably change it even more.

Years ago, when I was a resident (physician) I was called upon to help resolve a paternity suit.

We explained the ABO system and how the man could not be the father of the child because his blood type was AB, his wife's was A, and the child's was O.

The man registered doubt and then said: "If that's true, how come my mother's blood type is A, my father's O, and mine is AB?

We went to an accountant who claimed that she had traced her family all the way back to Adam and Eve...without missing any generations. Hmmmm.

She messed up our taxes, too.

"I, on the other hand, can’t trace anyone before 1920.

"Perhaps I am unlucky"

Perhaps you are lucky.

everyone is related to everyone else if you go back far enough

and this has nothing to do with eveolution - it can be scientifically proven by DNA

"Wow. Never would have guessed that Sarah Palin is part black. ;)"

We all are if we go back far enough. For most of us, the documents don't exist. For some, e.g. Queen Elizabeth, they do. But, of course, as we have already established, documents don't necessarily reflect the truth.

Limbaugh is distraught to find that one of his relatives is living in a hut in Kenya.

This means under Hawaii law that Sarah Palin can get Obama’s Long Form Birth Certificate since they now share a common ancestor.

Ouch.

I do recall learning in genetics class about the Bombay blood type, which can cause anomolous blood typing results. However, I'd have to find a better explanation than that in Wikipedia of the genetics involved before saying that there is a remote possibility that the man you mentioned actually is related to the people he thinks are his child and his father.

I know that must be what happened. We owe him an apology. In fact, we owe the whole family an apology.

But in my defense, I was quite young and had never been to Bombay. Also I think I slept through that part of the genetics lecture. I'm glad you didn't. Thanks! ~S

Oh. And speaking of genetics, the difference between an X-chromosome and a Y-chromosome is that the Y just has one of those little leg-things and the X has two. Whatever's on that second leg-thing is important!

I think that's why you didn't snooze through genetics class.
