...a 56-year-old Vietnam War veteran and former magazine editor who lists Francis Scott Key, who wrote "The Star-Spangled Banner," among his ancestors.

My 7th (if I remember correctly) great grandmother was Mary Key and is supposed to be my link to Francis Scott Key. Please don't tell me this guy is a relative. Oh well...I guess every family has got a few.

No sweat, I know in my case, when I shake the family tree, I shake out a fair share of nuts. B-) I know some of my ancestry is Russian, I've heard stories where the few that stayed behind became Bolsheviks so I believe everybody has a few loonies in their family tree.

About these people going to Canada, good riddance, although there are many conservatives up there that would not like them either so I think they should go further like Cuba, France or North Korea.
