Yes, George W. Bush and John Kerry are cousins. Ninth cousins twice removed, but still cousins.

If you haven't heard of the hilarious JibJab parody of "This Land is Your Land," starring George W. Bush and John Kerry, click on that link, then come back here when you're done laughing. I'll see you in an hour or two.

Well, the supposed owners of the copyright on the original song weren't amused, so they threatened a lawsuit. But the good guys struck back. Not only is parody permissible (are they gonna sue Weird Al Yankovic next?), but the good guys made a convincing case that "This Land is Your Land" is public domain!
