Vlad Tepes was an OG republican

[Elidor]

He once invited all the poor and homeless
for miles around to a banquet.
They arrived to find tables laden with food.
Once they were all inside, the doors were shut
and the wooden palace was burnt to the ground
with all inside it.
No more homeless problem.

1. I heard on Crossfire that Bush *and* Kerry are distant decendants of Vlad.

;)

Interestink factoid I thought I'd pass on.

2. Tell me you're joking!

Please.

3. Nope, Paul Begalia said so on Halloween.

:shrug:

Don't think he was joking either. But, who know's how many decendents "Vlad The Impailer" has?


Spoooky I know.

4. OK, I just read they're both 'RELATED' not decendants of.

They're also both related to Prince Charles. It's all got to do with "The House of Windsor"

[Elidor]

5. Still, how freakin' eerie is that?

Windsor, nee Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. Evil bastards.

6. European royalty is all inbred.

Every royal house is related to every other royal house dozens of different ways. Since both Bush & Kerry are related to British royalty, I would be surprised if they WEREN'T related to Vlad some way.
