All up in there!

God, I love this country! Who would have pictured Strom Thurmond as the gift that keeps on giving? It seems that Al Sharpton has learned that his people were once owned by Stroms people. Oopps. That'd be "Uncle Strom" to you: racist, rapist, segregationist, dixiecrat. Oh, and it gets better: geneologists have suggested that Reverend Sharpton might be a descendant of Thurmonds great great grandfather. Now Al wants a DNA test to see if he's got the taint. Man, that's gotta burn.

Sharpton 'shocked' by link to Thurmond's family

Doris Strom Costner, a distant cousin who said she knew the late senator all her life, said Sunday she "never heard of such a thing."

"My momma never would talk to me about nothing like that," Costner said of ancestors who owned slaves. "She only talked to me about good things."
