Sweden suffers another heavy blow

[Stockholm]

Having gone through a couple of rough years with the Tsunami and the Hurricane Gudrun, Sweden was starting to recover.

But this morning the little Nordic country suffered another blowback - George W. Bush is Swedish?

A collective WTF went through the capital as the people opened their morning papers. It turns out that the origin of the Bush family can be traced back to the little village of Sillerud in the County of Värmland (northwest of Sweden). According to reasearch the forfather Måns Andersson left Gothenburg for America in 1639 and settled in the Swedish colony "New Sweden" in Delaware.

The ship (Kalmar Nyckel) was apparently one of the first ships to leave for America and according to records the passengers were mainly soldiers or criminals, who could not make a decent living in Sweden. When considering George Walker Bush of today, I think we can all agree which category his forfather belonged to.

After the initial shock subsided, it all started to make sense. Massive public spending, taxing the middle class to death, accepting a huge deficit for political reasons...

6. Maybe not, but can we really afford to take that chance?

Presented for your consideration:

4. will everyone please quit calling them "bluebloods" now?

Honest to God, I absolutely wretch when I see posters do that. Look at this, for crying out loud:

The ship (Kalmar Nyckel) was apparently one of the first ships to leave for America and according to records the passengers were mainly soldiers or criminals, who could not make a decent living in Sweden. When considering George Walker Bush of today, I think we can all agree which category his forfather belonged to.

For sure his cowardly genes didn't come from a soldier! But we can sure see plenty of evidence that he's a crook!!!

BTW, did you click the links and see the goofy photos they used? Hilarious!!

5. "Mansson"??? Any relation to Charles Manson?

Another manipulative heartless killer who got others to do the dirty work?

[Richard Steele]

7. Not a blood relation, but maybe an 'inside joke' by Manson's backers.

Manson was an abandoned infant; his official birth certificate
listed his name as "Baby Boy Doe".

But I have long believed that he was not just a random nutjob,
but that he was one of the more extreme experiments the "Black Ops" folks
was doing to investigate the usefulness of LSD in 'mind control'.

It is no longer a secret that such people were VERY interested
in the more esoteric uses of LSD at that time.

10. He was raised with the last name Maddox, fyi n/t

[Richard Steele]

11. Yup. "Manson" was a name he used as an adult. nm

8. My son dated his niece. Her family loves Bush. No, I'm not kidding. n/t

9. To be fair

He's primarily English and Scots-Irish. The Swedes need only regret a little bit of him.

We, on the other hand, have the whole package 24/7.

12. Swedish colony? April Fool???

is this a joke?

never heard of that colony.

and what is that about some hurricane in Sweden? never heard of any such.
must all be a joke post.

Mr. Stockholm, any confession?
and, you are so lucky to be over there.

[melody]

13. I'd never heard of snow in Long Beach either before 3 weeks ago :)

Nothing surprises me anymore.

Anyway, the rest of his genealogy looks correct, so at least that part may be.

14. I wish it were an april fools joke

but I am afraid not.
