And now some fresh pickings from the political gridlock as Carl Cameron mentioned earlier Montana democratic governor Brian Schweitzer.

Says Mitt Romney's -- came from -- polygamy commune in Mexico.

Which is true Romney's father was born in Mexico into a community of mormons -- some had more than one wife however.

Neither Mitt Romney's father or grandfather practice polygamy it was outlawed in the United States in 189.

What is also true is that President Obama has polygamous in his family tree.

Prison Obama's great grandfather had five -- His grandfather had at least four and president Obama's father never divorced his first wife before marrying his second Stanley Ann -- Who later filed for divorce.

Obama married a third time before reuniting with his first wife.

From contrasting dog stories to compare and polygamy connections.

Grapevine notes if this week is any indication.
