That was beautiful.
They are actually calling a man who fought in WW2 and helped liberate
a concentration camp a "Sheehanite". There are some also claiming
that Obama's grandmother's brother is not his uncle.....ummmm okay. I
guess in wingnutworld a great uncle is not an uncle.

:All my life I have referred to my parents' cousins as my aunts and
:uncles. I guess I'm a serial liar in wingnutworld.

Your parents' cousins would be your first cousins one-removed (just in the
remote case you or anyone else actually cared).

Yeah, I know. My way is easier, though. If a relative is my parents'
generation, they are my aunt/uncle. If they are my generation, they
are my cousin. If they are the generation after me, they are my niece/
nephew. This is pretty standard usage in my family.

Yes, geneology twits (and, evidently, wingnuts) get bent out of shape
by this. I don't care.


My cousins' kids call me cuzuncle. Yes, it's official shtick.
