Here's my new personal take on it, as of today.
One of my first cousins now lives with me. He's originally from north Florida. I showed him this article, because this dude has a very familiar last name. He lost it, laughing his ass off. Why? My oldest cousin (his big brother) married a Van Zant woman, whose uncle this man is. Yes, I am actually, technically, related to that POS politician. He's my wut-ever-the-fuck-removed cousin or uncle in-law. Can't remove him any farther, unfortunately.
