Kung Te-Cheng, a 77th-generation descendant of the philosopher Confucius, died recently at the age of 88. Confucius lived 2500 years ago, so that allows an average of 32.5 years per generation, which I guess is reasonable if you are talking about high-status men.
277 is roughly 1.5 x 1023. Estimates of the world population of humanity in 500 BC range from 100 million to 200 million. I submit that we are all descended from Confucius by one route or another; the late Mr Kung is unusual only in that his male-line descent was apparently well recorded.
An ex-President who balanced the budget and still has a favorability rating of 67% is not ‘negative baggage.’
Hillary won the popular vote in the primary, won the big states, and won most of the later primaries. Obama ‘won’ by taking his name off the ballot in Michigan so that the Rules and By-laws Committee could later award him some of Hillary’s delegates, and similar tricks.
