UFOs Put Ideas In His Head

Dennis' close friend Shirley Maclaine has an interesting story about him in her book, "Sage-ing While Age-ing." (Yeah, I know.) Shirley says he had a close encounter with a UFO at her house in Washington state that he found very moving.

"The smell of roses drew him out to my balcony where, when he looked up, he saw a gigantic triangular craft, silent, and observing him. It hovered, soundless, for 10 minutes or so, and sped away with a speed he couldn't comprehend. He said he felt a connection in his heart and heard directions in his mind."

I can't make that one any weirder or funnier, either.

Led Cleveland Into Bankruptcy

Critics are quick to charge that Kucinich "led Cleveland into bankruptcy" as a young (31) mayor, called "Dennis the Menace" by the press, and his administration was certainly messy. One book recently named him as the 7th worst mayor of American history, not for any reasons of corruption or scandal, but due to his "abrasive, intemperate, and chaotic administration." He survived a recall vote after only ten months in office by 231 votes (out of 120,000) and was voted out after one term by Republican George Voinovich, even through Democrats outnumbered Republicans 8 to 1. When he threw out the first pitch at a Cleveland Indians game, he wore a bullet-proof vest and had sharpshooters positioned on the stadium roof.

> Millions of Americans have lost their jobs, their homes, their health care, their pensions. Trillions

> Borrowed money to bomb bridges in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. No money to rebuild bridges

> We can't afford another Republican administration. Wake up, America. The insurance companies
> took over health care. Wake up, America. The pharmaceutical companies took over drug pricing.
>
> Wake up, America. The speculators took over Wall Street. Wake up, America. They want to take

> factories are closing, good paying jobs lost.
>
> Wake up, America. We went into Iraq for oil. The oil companies want more. War against Iran will
> mean $10-a-gallon gasoline. The oil administration wants to drill more, into your wallet. Wake up,
> America. Weapons contractors want more. An Iran war will cost 5 to 10 trillion dollars.

> This administration can tap our phones. They can't tap our creative spirit. They can open our mail.
> They can't open economic opportunities. They can track our every move. They lost track of the
> economy while the cost of food, gasoline and electricity skyrockets. They skillfully played our post-
> 9/11 fears and allowed the few to profit at the expense of the many. Every day we get the color
> orange, while the oil companies, the insurance companies, the speculators, the war contractors get

> Wake up, America. This is not a call for you to take a new direction from right to left. This is a call
> for you to go from down to up. Up with the rights of workers. Up with wages. Up with fair trade. Up
> with creating millions of good paying jobs, rebuilding our bridges, ports and water systems. Up with
> creating millions of sustainable energy jobs to lower the cost of energy, lower carbon emissions and
> protect the environment.
>
> Up with health care for all. Up with education for all. Up with home ownership. Up with guaranteed
> retirement benefits. Up with peace. Up with prosperity. Up with the Democratic Party. Up with
> Obama-Biden.

> Wake up, America. Wake up, America. Wake up, America.
