I really like Dennis Kucinich. I realize that he is in a unique position as a political candidate, one that isn’t likely to get a nomination and isn’t, sadly, taken serious. Because of this, he is able to say and do as he believes - unlike every other political candidate.

The latest thing he has said is that we need to question Bush’s mental health. A president that is going around talking about WWIII and then sanctions a country with a crazy president does need some mental health screening.

In Washington State. And… he is… Republican. My goodness, these Republican men are out of control! Sadly, this story hasn’t received much attention.

• UPDATE PART I: This story is finally starting to get attention.
• UPDATE PART II: For the best, most complete story.
• UPDATE PART III: He resigned. That was quick. He could have pulled a Larry Craig and said he has a wide stance… or something.
• UPDATE PART IV: Guess what?! National attention (finally…).

I wish Cheyenne and Sophocles would let me do this to them!

Tonight, Anthony and I saw a sneak preview of 30 Days of Night. I really liked the movie. Something that I thought was strange was that the vampires, who spoke a different language, sounded Russian. They also looked a bit slavic… it sort of reminded me of early 80’s films where all the bad guys were Russian. Remember that good ‘ol cold war propaganda? Has it started again?

This man claims that genetics prove people of African decent are intellectually inferior to whites, that gay fetuses should be aborted, and that there is a link between skin color and sexual prowess (darker the skin = higher the prowess).

He didn’t mention, ironically, the genetic link between light skin and sun damage. Just saying…

Tommaso Stenico was only pretending to be gay. Senator Larry Craig has a wide stance. Congressman Robert Allen was scared by all the people of color. Ted Haggard thought he was just getting a massage.

In regards to Tommaso (great name!), I am really disappointed. He wasn’t even trying to be creative with his excuse. Tons of catholic priests have gotten away with sexual abuse of children and weren’t kicked out of the church. Here, he is at least hitting on an adult - and it is assumed, by me at least, that the flirting was consensual - and the church kicks him out. Either the church has it’s priorities screwed up or they were not pleased with the excuse. Must be the excuse. =)

Anthony and I were shopping this morning in Tukwilla for drapes when we passed this sign at Catherine’s Plus Size clothing and lingerie for women. It seemed so random, yet specific. Do they have such a high volume of military women that it warrants an entire night dedicated to them? Do military women have weight issues? Are these military wives or women in the military? So many questions left unanswered!!
