The Conspiracy's Illustrious Connection to History:
Someone asked whether our coblogger Stuart Minor Benjamin, who is also
a Jew from Louisiana. He reports:
I'm related to Judah P. Benjamin, but not lineally (he would be a
cousin several generations removed). So he's not an ancestor, but
is a relative. But here's the fun part: I'm related to him on my
mother's side of the family. That is, our shared last names are a
complete coincidence.
Cool.
