This  is sure to be all over the news tomorrow, but I couldn't wait to comment. 
Professional genealogists have discovered that Al Sharpton's ancestors were slaves owned by Strom Thurmond's relatives.  
Is it wrong that this news causes me all sorts of glee?  I don't want to examine that reaction too closely.
Brian says that, given Thurmond's proclivities with the ladies and historical practices of slaveowners, maybe Thurmond and Sharpton are related.  Hee!
