Weird quotes and other weirdness by Dennis Kucinich.
“The energy of the stars becomes us. We become the energy of the stars. Stardust and spirit unite, and we begin: One with the universe. Whole and holy. From one source, endless creative energy, bursting forth, kinetic, elemental. We, the earth, air, water, and fire source of nearly 15 billion years of cosmic spiraling” (remarks to Praxis Peace Institute, June 9, 2002).
“I am running for President of the United States to enable the Goddess of Peace to encircle within her arms all the children of this country and all the children of the world.”
“In that moment I had a new understanding that this flag, as spangled with stars as a bolt of heaven itself, connects the United States with eternal principles of unity, of brotherhood, of sisterhood. … One bright star shines for hope. Another star for optimism. Another for well-being. One for freedom. One for abundance. One for creativity. One for togetherness. One for peace. One star to wish upon to create your highest aspirations, to make your dreams come true” (remarks at Redwood Sequoia Conference, Sept. 14, 2002).
“(Singing Softly) O, say can you see
O, Canada! glorious and free!
(Speaking) O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave
(Singing) O, Canada!
(Speaking) We stand on guard for thee
(Slowly and Quietly) O, Canada, we stand on guard for thee”
(remarks at Conference on Unity, Sovereignty, and Prosperity, Nov. 30, 2002).

“We’re asking our countries’ leaders to understand that the world is undivided. We’re asking our countries’ leaders to see the world as an interconnected whole. We’re asking our countries’ leaders to take a holistic view of the world and to allow the globe, the sphere of the Earth herself, to exist free from an assault from space” (remarks in Malibu, Calif., Feb. 23, 2002).
“After I lost the [mayoral] election in Cleveland in 1979, I moved to California for a while. I actually remember walking in the area around L.A. known as MacArthur Park, and I was thinking of that song and thinking of the lyrics where they talk about ‘Someone left the cake out in the rain. It took so long to make it.’ And it goes on, raising the question of whether I’ll ever have that recipe again.”

According to the Associated Press and the Plain Dealer, Shirley MacLaine is the godmother to Kucinich’s daughter. She introduced Kucinich to Chris Griscom, who has become a “spiritual adviser” to Kucinich. Griscom, who reportedly helped MacLaine “communicate with trees,” has founded two institutes “to teach people how to connect with their inner [selves], partially by helping them to remember their past lives.” Carol Rosin, another Kucinich friend and supporter, “helped arrange to send the cremated remains of her friend LSD guru Timothy Leary into space.”
“Furthermore, I’m also a board member of Parliamentarians for Global Action, which is one of the largest group of parliamentarians in the world, and I meet regularly with world leaders from countries throughout... around the globe.”

U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich is suing a restaurant company for $150,000 for selling him a sandwich containing an unpitted olive, the suit alleges. The 64-year-old Democrat bit into the sandwich wrap at the Longworth Cafeteria in the House office building in April 2008, according to the complaint. The sandwich contained an unpitted olive, rendering it “unwholesome and unfit for human consumption,” the complaint said.
Thank you. Reading his quotes in your post, I feel I now know enough about DK to satisfy my curiosity for a good long while. Matter of fact, I do remember my impressions of him from the past. It’s still a good thing I do not receive FNC.
He and Murdoch will get along famously. They're both the same kind of nut case.
