Apparently genealogists have "discovered" that Hillary Clinton is related to Angelina Jolie and Barack Obama is related to Brad Pitt (For those reading 50 years from now - Clinton and Obama were the Democratic contenders for the 2008 Presidential election.)
Who cares?
I ask again, who cares??
I hope no one actually got paid to find this information. That's about as useless as it gets. Our political process has been American Idol-ized enough as it is. Knowing what famous celebrity the candidates are related to is not going to help anyone figure out who to vote for. I sincerely hope it won't. I sincerely hope no one actually thinks this information is important.
Why is this news?
(If I find enough examples of the above, I may make this a regular feature.)
