    Oh yeah, someone else I got. James Denton is a cousin of mine. He plays Mike Delfino on "Desperate Housewives".

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    My paternal grandfather, Willard Kelly, was the deputy head of the Immigration and Naturalization service, having started in the Border Patrol. He quite literally wrote the manual for the Border Patrol, as well as making many important changes to the Border Patrol; for example, pushing a program to teach basic foreign language communication to Border Patrol officers. He also briefly locked horns with Jay Edgar Hoover, after Willard kept telling everyone about how the FBI would "announce the arrest and deportation" of someone that the INS had arrested and deported (failing to mention, of course, who had done the arresting and deporting.)

    Wow, some people actually know who their Seventh cousins are!! I don't know some of my first cousins.

    Me, Peasant by name, Peasant by nature.

    The American footballer, Bobby Convey, is a very distant relative. So congrats to him on achieving promotion to the Premier League with Reading FC.
