DNA Test

Ka-Ata-Kila

Elizabeth Warren has taken Trump's challenge ... and had her DNA tested by a friendly gerontologist. The results are in -- Pocahontas is between 1/64th and 1/1024th Native American. But, unfortunately this test lacked sufficient Cherokee or other North American Indian DNA to compare against ... so Inca and other South and Central American native DNA  markers were substituted.

So the DNA results actually suggest at best, that Ms. Warren may have had an Inca or similar South or Central American native ancestor from sometime in the early 1800s or before.

I think Trump might now have to change Senator Warren's nickname from Pocahontas to a famous Inca native ... perhaps Ka-Ata-Kila, their moon goddess.

DNA Test

Saturday Night Live hasn't been funny for years ... pretty much all the juice has been squeezed out of the Trump lemon. In order to turn things around, I offer the following skit to rejuvenate this once-vibrant weekend entertainment.

Let's start withe the scene: A family dinner of the Farkels ... an attractive vibrant mother, somewhat nerdy father and am attractive  teenage daughter. They are discussing  the day's events:

Mother: We got our DNA tests back today ... I am 73% Swedish, 24% German and 3% Turkish. That figures ... my mother was a full Swede and my father had German ancestors.

Father: I got mine and I am 87%  English' 10% Irish and 3% Italian.

Daughter: Wow! I want to have my DNA tested ...

Mother (visibly chagrined): Oh honey, that isn't necessary. Your  results will just be ta mix otf your Dad's and mine. Besides it costs $90 ... this is money we don't need to spend.

Father: Oh, dear ... what's the harm?

Mother  (flushing):Sweetie, these DNA tests are notoriously unreliable. You can't depend on their results.

Father: Oh, honey ... let our daughter do this test. What's the harm?

Mother (angering):'No, I refuse to allow it. It's a waste of good money on an unreliable test.

Daughter: I'll use my own money. I just want to see how much of my DNA comes from you Dad and from you Mom.

Mother (red faced): I refuse to allow it and that's final!

Father (milquetoasty): Aw, honey .

Mother (storming from the table): That's final!!

Father (clueless, to daughter): Gee, I wonder what's gotten into your Mother?

Heritage

My daddy was madly in love with my mother ... but his parents didn't approve of her because her heritage was part Native American. So they were forced to "elope" [to a town ten miles away, got married ... and immediately returned home to a big reception.] My parents told me I was part Native American ... so I know who I am ... and so I don't need to take a DNA test ... nor have I ever benefited from this heritage. -- paraphrased from Senator Pocahontas Warren ... it's her story and she's sticking to it ... again and again.
