The AP's CHRISTINE SIMMONS is reporting that Lynn Cheney has uncovered an "inconvenient truth" -- Dick Cheney and Barack Obama are both descendants of Richard Cheney, who immigrated to Maryland from England in the late 1650's. Obama spokesman Bill Burton responded to the news, saying "every family has a black sheep."
I guess the "is Barack black enough" crowd now has more to talk about.

The Idea Behind This
Accountability. We have to be accountable, and we think our politicians should be too. We do not want a replay of the craven perfidy of the last 12 years that nearly sunk the ship of state. The administrators of this blog have decided, as a group, that working to elect real Democrats to office at all levels of government is the best way to achieve the restoration of oversight and accountability.
But please! Don’t make the mistake of thinking of us as battered wives who keep coming back for more, because that would be totally wrong. Parole Officers would be much more fitting. (Full Mission Statement here.)
