As Frank said, FEMA has started to use the term “federal family”.
Which I guess makes sense if your family is:
* Simpson
* O.J. Simpson
* Addams
* Munster
* Griffin
* Manson
* Hitler
* Jong Il
* Bates
* Frankenstein
* The Impaler (assuming Vlad was married)
* Whatever family ran that little chainsaw shop in Texas.
Any other “federal families” you can think of?
The Duggar family cause it never seems to stop expanding
Almost forgot the obvious – Corleone
Lohan
Barr
Ironically the Feds have adopted the surname of a family in Idaho: Weaver.
Barker.
Germanicus.
Borden
Vlad was married. Twice. And yes, I am related, in the line of his second wife.
For the record, having Vlad the Impaler for family is pretty cool. Having the Fed for family is not.
It may not be so bad. If the federal government is part of my family, it means I can initiate hearings to have it committed.
Oblongs.
“Down in the valley where the toxic waste flows”
mikeszekely – can you bring Vlad back? We need Vlad The Impaler to go to D.C. and set up shop. He can import wood from many southern and western states. Farm-grown southern pine would be good. It’s somewhat brittle when really dry.
The inbred mutant looking creatures from the movie The Capitol Hill Has Eyes.
No thanks, I don’t ever want anyone, anywhere to think that the Obamas, the Kennedys, the Clintons, the Pelosis, the Reids, the Schumans, the Waxmans or the Frank might in any way be related.
@12.Dohtimes :
Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank?
O’Brien’s family.
Federal family….kinda close to big brother isn’t it?
Borgia
Kim. Castro. Chavez.
Wasserman-Schultz
DeMedici
anyone named Smith, Jones, Johnson or Williams. there’s enough of them to BE a federal government.
If they are now part of the family, can I use them as deductions on my taxes?
The family Stone…not to be confused with the family car.
Vlad’s last name was Tepes.
Also, the Griswolds.
The Sheens?
Capone.
Hollowhead
Stupid
Bundy (either)
Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg (as seen in Hamlet)
Merrye
Brewster
Whateley
And Apostic wins the Obscury!
The Todd’s (as in Sweeny)
The Dalmer’s
The Kavorkians
and just for Apostic “No, no. I’m not a Brewster. I’m the son of a sea-cook! Ha! Ha! Chaaaaarrrge!”. (I rented this movie for my younger children when they were teen-agers for Halloween and they said “Mom, this movie’s creepy!” This from the M Night Shamalan fans in my house. I just don’t get it.)
The weird thing about the Federal Family is that it only has one member – Big Brother.
Screwtape (he had a nephew named Wormwood, so I guess that counts as family)

Apparently the labor branch of the Federal Family is ready to declare war on Republicans. Bring it, idiots. You’re gonna get creamed in 2012.
Happy Labor Day. Or not.
Could the government possibly be any more dysfunctional? Yes, by trying to be a family. They’ll do that as well as they do everything else.
Just FYI, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre family was the Sawyers.
What about families without documents whose last names end in “ez?”
