NEXT THING YOU'LL TELL ME IS THAT ROSIE O'DONNELL IS GAY
I have a hard time remembering names, faces, and statuses (statusi ?) like whether a given celebrity is dead or alive (strangely enough, I'm great with telephone numbers). So you could knocked me over with a feather duster when I learned that not only is Dennis Kucinich still in the race for President, but some people are continuing to show up for his speeches! One of my favorite blawgger kids reports that Mr. Kucinich spoke with Harvard Law students on Wednesday:
Kucinich outlined his plan to create a cabinet-level Department of Peace ... . The Department of Peace, he explained, would infuse the principles of peace into every aspect of society. In school, children would be introduced to "peace-making" and "peace-sharing" programs starting in the early grades. In homes suffering from domestic violence, abusers would be treated with "open-hearted compassion," with a focus on dealing not just with the effects of but with the underlying causes of violence in our society. Internationally, the Department would work with the nations of the world to transform relationships, and, in the spirit of the original United Nations charter, end war for good.I guess I've got to stop just reading the headlines.
