David Axelrod Does Not Equal Laura Axelrod

LOL. Someone in the political blogosphere thinks I'm related to David Axelrod... and of course, that's why I'm doing Project 1968.

(sarcasm) Because every single person with the last name of Smith is also related. (/sarcasm)

For the record, as far as I know I am not related to David Axelrod. We happen to have the same last name, but that's as far as it goes. I've never even met the man.

Believe me, I was related to him, I'd hit him up for money. He's probably making more than I am.

I love conspiracies as much as the next person...

But please people. Aim your tin-foil hats toward Roswell. You'll have better luck there.

(On a side note: It's been seven months since I was accused of being a "red-state blogger," so I guess it's about time for me to be labeled a "liberal blogger." Sheesh.)

UPDATE - 5 minutes later: Jethro has just informed me that there's a Jim Axelrod on CBS news. I'm not related to him either.

UPDATE - 15 minutes later: I've changed right-wing blogosphere to political blogosphere. Evidently the radio show host is a liberal and the person who yelled conspiracy is a wack-job... But we knew that already.

Aw come on, you're destroying the myth! And besides, I really, really wanna be related to LeBron James! ;)
