I’m sure drugs have nothing to do with it.....

Maybe the hair has been leaching away brain cells.

If man is not supposed to marry his cousin then why do we have family reunions?

:)Something to contemplate as the reunion season approaches..

[Gideon Reader]

And here I thought you were talking about Arlen Specter
Senator (A-Pa) and Scottish Law Expert.
Hmmmm.No real difference is there?

It is sad really.

[IamConservative]

Sorry for the double clutch, and, I was second to the well on that bit of humor.

It's hard to draw any conclusions. In my paternal line, my great grandparents were first cousins, and depression runs down that line; one of their daughters married her first cousin, never had any children, and ended up commiting suicide. One great granddaughter also committed suicide at age 38. The male line has all died out except for one, my second cousin who has a son.

I think my great grandfather was an atheist, and have often wondered if that had anything to do with anything.

Statistically, I doubt that is a greater number than the law of averages

My paternal grandmother's grandparents (my gr gr grandparents) were first cousins, all the male line bearing the paternal surname has died out in the descendants, many died young and/or unmarried, but one daughter lived to be 89. It's kind of pointless to speculate, and not a good idea to blame your own problems on those who went before when they could be a genetic accident or something you brought upon yourself. On the upside, my grandparents' three children had extremely high IQ's which was passed down to some extent to my sister and me, nature vs. nurture? Somebody did a study, and the male line of Martin Luther died out, thought it was the 17th generation but could have been sooner. That subject fascinates me, how some families always have males to carry on the family name.

I think he's trying to look more like Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran.

With hair like that, I would suspect Phil might have a rather unnatural fixation with Chia Pets.

Any risk from inbreeding is only to the children of related parents. If your mother and father are not related, then all “inbreeding” in previous generations is neutralized.

Relax.

“I am an inbred American.”

I'm probably mis-recollecting McGreevey's self-outing, but
wouldn't the analogous proclamation be:

"I an a PROUD inbred American".

[VOA]

oops, I meant to say the analogous statement would be:

"I am a PROUD inbred American".

Maybe my initial mis-spelling shows my inbred credentials as
a long-time Oklahoman!

[Republicus2001]

It’s hard to imagine him in Senate

[Petronski]

Those records are sealed.

I'm probably mis-recollecting McGreevey's self-outing...

According to my quick Google-check you are mis-remembering. However, as soon as I hit "Post" I knew I should have rendered it:

"I'm an inbred American."

[Niteranger68]

oops, at first glance of headline I thought this was about Arlen, but his is spelled Specter:)

...or Sphincter.
