Keekeerist. Everyone of us has a cousin, or two, that received too many of the wrong genes, or not enough of the right ones.

Remember, Rule #1. You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your relatives. (Rule #2. You can pick your nose. You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your friend's nose.)

Go ahead. Admit this axiom of life. You'll feel better.

I've got a "distant cousin" who is serving a life sentence for murder. What significance does it have to my life? None. What's the significance of this "distant" familial relationship between Andrew Card and the traitor? None.

Of much greater significance is her employment with several congressmen, all of them Democrats.

Remember, Rule #1. You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your relatives. (Rule #2. You can pick your nose. You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your friend's nose.)

Rule #3. You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can't wipe your friends on the couch.
