Man, I don't think I'd be telling people that you are related to that moron. He must have gotten all the bad genes. So, are you a skull and boneser?
Mayflower passenger John Howland is an ancestor to President George Bush, and to First Lady Edith (Carrow) Roosevelt (Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt). Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford are descendants of John Howland's brother Henry. Winston Churchill is descended from John Howland's brother Arthur.

George W. Bush, the "moron", as you refer to him as, is related to many millions of people in America. It has been estimated that if his "cousins" all voted for him, he'd win by a landslide. If you have sny colonial New England ancestry, there is a good chance that you are related to him as well. The pilgrim John Howland alone is an ancestor to many Americans, and he is only one of many.

John Howland was washed overboard during the Mayflower voyage, and rescued. Below is a painting of the event. Had he not been saved, he would not have had any descendants, and someone else would have been the president. I wouldn't be here, either.

As to your "skull and bone" question no, I was not from a privlidged background or a student at Yale or any other Ivy League institution.

My Revalation So I recently had a revalation, after so many years of being a politically motivated person (since 7th grade), I can finally explain why since day one freedom in the USA has been a lie! When all the hotshot powdered wig dudes got together to agree on the terms written in the constitution one brave soul stood up and stated that freedom should extend to natives, blacks, and every other man woman and child. This means despite so many years of struggle the idea of what freedom truely means was Rating: 5
