According to a reliable source, former U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga) will officially announce her candidacy for U.S. president as early as next week. According to the source, the Green Party has been actively courting McKinney to switch party affiliation and run as a Green. (*)
McKinney has been outspoken about the Iraq war, AIPAC's lobbying influence over U.S. foreign policy, the 9/11 Commission Report, and the partisan decision by a partial body of the Supreme Court to elect George W. Bush to the presidency in 2000.
She is also trumpeting the call of millions of Americans calling for the impeachment of Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for perpetrating war crimes against humanity.
McKinney is in San Francisco this weekend. Her schedule includes an appearance at a CodePink party tonight at El Rio, and an appearance tomorrow at a campaign rally to elect mayoral candidate Ahimsa Sumchai.
(*) Update 3:10 p.m: According to a source, McKinney officially registered as a member of the Green Party yesterday.
YOU GO GIRL!

Humor of the day?

Heads up -- my announcement of running for Congress in 2008 will appear here, Monday afternoon.
What an embarrassment.
The announcement? no; her candidacy? absolutely.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
Go for it, Cyndi. Maybe you can get Jesse jackson or Al Sharpton to be your V.P. and O.J. to manage your campaign too.
This woman is hilarious.
I am running because of the life and death situation that exists right now in the Bayview Hunter's Point community. I have no choice but to run because of that crisis. Environmental racism and the negative effects of Lennar Corp. on African American well-being are critically important issues, but they are not a priority to the current Mayoral Administration or this Mayor's Race. I want to bring voice to these issues.
Ron was never the looniest! Dennis The Menace is far loonier!
>>Is this a joke?<<
Maybe she will drain away a few left wing/crazy/islamist votes.
Cuck-OO! Cuck-OO! Cuck-OO!
Crazy as a mule on a Ferris wheel.
I hope not!
Maxine Waters is her VP choice?
I can’t wait for the debates!
