SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- President Bush and John Kerry are not only distant cousins -- they can be traced back to Count Dracula.
That's according to Provo's reputable genealogical research company MyFamily-dot-com.
The search firm says both presidential candidates are loosely related through as many as 34 generations to the man who became known as Count Dracula.
He was born in 1431 as Prince Vlad the third, and he ruled southern Romania for a time.
MyFamily-dot-com says it showed the bloodthirsty warlord's connection to modern times have a little fun before Halloween.
But the company insists it's NOT making this up -- Bush and Kerry and thousands of others descended from County Dracula's family.
If researchers could trace back relations to the dawn of human history, they could show that everybody's related to everybody.

Happy Halloween!
Thanks.
I just saw a clip of Kerry giving a speech on tv. I take such great solace in the fact that there is a good chance I will never have to hear his lame f'n voice again...
...the alternative... shudder...
What's next?? they are linked to the Easter Bunny?
The Democrat contolled media can come up with this crap but they don't bother to discuss Kerry's anti-war activities or his non-existent senate record. Some "free press".
Too right! Their "investigative" abilities seem to have limits - at least where the records of Dems are concerned.
Count Dracula was a fictitious character. The claim that Vlad was the basis for Dracula has been shot down, too. Knucklehead writer.
Using that internet service, I found out that I am related to Pocahontas. Unfortunately, the genealogy said that her husband was John Smith. Unfortunately, though, John Smith had a romantic relationship with Pocahontas only in the Disney film--not in real life.
These internet genealogies tend to be erroneous more often than they are accurate.
How about Frankenberry?
Well, I will give you credit, at least this is not another POLL THREAD.
lol
Cousin Lurch comes from Boston as well, and John Edwards is Eddie Munster grown up. Oh and do not forget, James carvelle is Uncle fester, while Bill Maher is Cousin IT with a haircut.
Michael Moore is the Blob, from which they all evolved.
Ops4 God BLess America!
I'm a Genealogist and that web site is the
worst! It's not worthy of a mention.
Oh for pity sakes!
Thanks.
Do you have a macro to type that out, or do you have to type it every...single...time...? :)
"Count Dracula was a fictitious character."
But so is kerry's character - wholly fictitious, with the sole exception of the selfish part, which is real.
Cut-n-paste is the only way to go...;-)
The Democrat contolled media can come up with this crap. Um... actually, I think it was the British, who are obsessed with geneology.
That being the case, I can only hope that the POTUS will impale Kerry by at least one electoral vote.
