Former congressman Dennis Kucinich (D., Ohio) said today that striking Syria would turn the United States military into “al-Qaeda’s air force.” Kucinich, who voted against the Iraq War and campaigned for the Democratic nomination for president in 2004 and 2008, lambasted the idea that Obama could act without congressional authorization, which he said would be a violation of the Constitution. He also warned that intervening in Syria would entangle the United States in another war in the Middle East and encourage Islamists who are fighting the forces of Syrian president Bashar Assad. “So what, we’re about to become al-Qaeda’s air...

Scott Brown as a contributor, and the Republican is making his debut in prime time on Wednesday. … Fox has been remaking its contributor lineup in recent months, cutting ties to Sarah Palin and Dick Morris while hiring Brown and Dennis Kucinich. …

As you can see above, at one time, the DUmmies had no greater hero than Dennis Kucinich. There was nobody they liked better. The former Boy Mayor of Cleveland, the former Wunderkind of the Cuyahoga, the truest, bluest progressive in Congress, the prog-preferred presidential aspirant in '04 and '08, and a moonbat as wacky as the DUmmies themselves--there was no one who could surpass Dennis Kucinich in the eyes of the DUmmies. But all that has changed now. Due to Ohio losing a seat in Congress, Rep. Kucinich was forced into a primary against fellow congressperson Marcy Kaptur--and he...

Rep. Dennis Kucinich has introduced a bill that would require cell phones to warn consumers how much radiation is coming from their phones, saying that until science can disprove a link to cancer, the public should be told more information. His bill, the Cell Phone Right to Know Act, would also demand a study of cell phones and health, looking at a broad array of signals that smart phones now send out, ranging from the phone to bluetooth to WiFi. "Consumers have a right to know the radiation levels of cell phones and whether they are buying the phone with...

Dennis Kucinich, longtime Democratic Congressman from Ohio, has finally put an end to speculation about his intention in regards to a Washington State Congressional seat. As strange as this situation is, after eight terms consistently being reelected, Ohio had enough negative population growth to end up losing two Congressional seats. Kucinich ended up in a district that was merged with a neighboring district, and was forced into a showdown with Marcy Kaptur, the Dem currently seated in that other district. Despite repeated visits to Washington State, even before his primary loss, and a fair deal of support from some local...

I don't know if I can copy anything here from Politico, but bye bye Kucinich!

Willie Nelson sold out a 1,400 seat theater in Lorain, Ohio, on Sunday (Jan. 29) in support of Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D - OH). As a result of redistricting, Kucinich has been forced into a primary battle with fellow Democrat Mary Kaptur, whose campaign funding was recently reported as almost seven times that of Kucinich. "Dennis and I go a long way back," Willie said before the show (quote via the Chronicle-Telegram). "Anything I've been interested in seeing done, he said, 'What can I do to help?'" The pair first met in 2002, after the Congressman's Prayer for America speech,...

I'm going to keep this one short and sweet. I have a serious case of writer's block. My brain feels like it's been replaced by the teleprompter that committed Hara-Kiri during one of Chairman Obama's boring propaganda speeches. Recently, Dennis "The Red Menace" Kucinich had this to say about the "Occupy Wall Street" demonstrations that have so far included Communists, antisemites, and drug addict leeches: ----------------------------------- "I think this is healthy, that it is about freedom of speech and the right to assemble. And I am looking right now at the Statue of Freedom over the Capitol. Let me tell...

Ron Paul says he'd consider putting Dennis Kucinich in his Cabinet By Justin Sink - 09/21/11 12:02 PM ET Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) says he would consider putting the liberal congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) in his Cabinet if he wins the presidency in 2012. Paul said his libertarian political philosophy helps him connect with some on the far left — including Kucinich, who shares Paul’s general anti-war stance. Paul joked that if he brought the Ohio congressman aboard in his administration, he might have to create a "Department of Peace." "You've got to give credit to people who think," he...

May 7, 2011 – Comet Elenin spawned mass hysteria on the internet – Leonid Elenin A misreported April Fool’s joke sparked panic on the internet over a comet discovered by a Russian astronomer. Conspiracy theorists believe that the Elenin comet is an alien spaceship and demand that the scientist discloses data hushed up by NASA.The web uproar focuses on the comet C/2010 X1, which was first discovered on December 10, 2010.

Cleveland Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich is making yet another trip to the left coast over the weekend - this time to be a headline speaker at Seattle's "Hempfest," which advertises itself as "The World's Largest Protestival."

The US House of Representatives voted Thursday to forbid the Pentagon from providing military equipment, training, advice or support to Libya's rebels. By a 225-201 margin, lawmakers debating an annual Pentagon spending bill adopted an amendment restricting Washington's ability to help fighters looking to overthrow longtime Libyan strongman Moamer Kadhafi. The House was expected to vote Friday on approving the underlying bill, but the provision on Libya's rebels could face stiff opposition in Senate, which must approve the legislation to send it to Obama to sign into law. Republican Representative Tom Cole of Oklahoma introduced the measure at a time...

The measure's chief sponsor, Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio, says President Barack Obama and the Republican leadership are trying to buy time to build support for the war. In a statement, Kucinich said the GOP leadership told him the vote, slated for Wednesday, had been delayed to obtain more information and consult with the administration. Kucinich says Obama violated the War Powers Act requiring...

Not long ago, Rep. Dennis Kucinich was championing the anti-war movement on the presidential stage with the likes of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. But now, the die-hard liberal who launched his 30-year career on a high note as the “boy mayor of Cleveland” has become something of a political outlaw on the hunt for a new House district reportedly as far west as Washington state and as far north as Maine. It’s a moment brought on by a set of circumstances ranging from dreary to bizarre. The anti-war movement has almost disappeared. He’s bracing to be redistricted out of...

CLEVELAND -- A spokesman says a liberal congressman who could lose his Ohio district is hearing from people across the country who want him to run in their states. Republicans in control in Ohio might eliminate the Cleveland seat held by eight-term Democrat Dennis Kucinich during this year's redistricting. Ohio will lose two House districts because of U.S. population shifts. Kucinich was in Washington state for appearances last week. Spokesman Nathan White tells The Plain Dealer of Cleveland that Washington is among 20 states where people are urging Kucinich to run. Washington will add one new congressional seat. Kucinich has...

"If I don't have anywhere I can run in Ohio, I have to start thinking about what my options are," Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) said. "I prefer to continue serving the district I've served for as long as I have. But that's not my choice to make in terms of the map."

And I thought I saw everything. Apparently Dennis Kucinich is not only a trained ventriloquist, but is an incredibly creepy trained ventriloquist... Let me set the scene for you in words (which makes it even stranger sounding): Man- Do you know [Kucinich] is a trained ventriloquist? Interviewer- What? [Cuts to Dennis Kucinich holding a creepy puppet with a straw hat and checkered outfit] Puppet- (Singing) God bless America. Whenever I feel afraid, I hold my head erect! Interviewer- How? How do you keep winning elections? Puppet- You're going to have to ask Dennis.

Outspoken politician Dennis Kucinich is known for his anti-war views, veganism and statuesque British wife. But it appears the diminutive 64-year-old Ohio Congressman can add another even more bizarre string to his bow - he is also an accomplished ventriloquist. Appearing on Thursday's Daily Show, Kucinich demonstrated the bizarre talent in a mock interview. Speaking to John Oliver, a straight faced Kucinich manipulates the puppet as he sings 'God Bless America'. Seemingly bemused by the demonstration, Oliver then asks, 'how do you keep winning elections?'. Kucinich replies via the puppet: ' You're going to have to ask Dennis.' Kucinich has...
