I was way to busy yesterday and didn\u2019t get to post anything. It looks like the delay was a good thing. Yesterday was \u201cSuper Tuesday\u201d for the Republican Primaries. I\u2019ll talk about that later on. This post is about the imminent retirement of the senior Nut Case in the House of Representatives, Dennis the Menace Kucinich.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>It seems that the voters have sent him into retirement due to ill health, They were sick of him. Kucinich did have a tough reelection bid since his district was redrawn after the last census and since the Republicans won control of the state legislature, they decided to put two of the more annoying democrats into one district.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the details from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/kucinich-faces-uphill-battle-for-redistricted-seat\/2012\/03\/05\/gIQA6MFrvR_story.html\" target=\"_blank\">Washington Post<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich (D-Ohio), the two-time presidential candidate and icon of the antiwar left, suffered a bruising primary defeat Tuesday as a new Republican-drawn congressional map threatened to end the career of one of the most colorful figures in Congress.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>No threat, it did end the career of one of the most incompetent, insane idiots ever elected to any office. That\u2019s one lunatic in office down and about 30 more to go ((Can we please send <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Maxine_Waters\" target=\"_blank\">Maxine Waters<\/a> to prison? Please?)). Back to the Washington Post story by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/paul-kane\/2011\/02\/22\/ABezuTI_page.html\" target=\"_blank\">Paul Kane<\/a>, which reads more like an obituary than a political story.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>With most attention focused on the state\u2019s GOP presidential primary battle, and no Democratic primary for president, Kucinich was left in a low-turnout race in a newly drawn district against his once-close ally, Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I don\u2019t know anything about Marcy Kaptur, but if she was a \u201cClose Ally\u201d of Kucinich, she\u2019s probably three fries short of a happy meal herself.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>From his stint as Cleveland\u2019s \u201cBoy Mayor\u201d in the late 1970s, including two debt defaults and the forced sale of the city\u2019s electric plant, to his unsuccessful <a href=\"http:\/\/voices.washingtonpost.com\/sleuth\/2007\/04\/articles_of_impeachment_to_be.html\" target=\"_blank\">effort to impeach Vice President Richard B. Cheney<\/a> in 2007, Kucinich has repeatedly thrust himself into the national spotlight. Often coming up on the short end of his fights, Kucinich, 65, never stopped swinging but usually did so in a friendly spirit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>See? This does read like an obituary. Granted, Kucinich\u2019s political career is probably over, (Thank God!), but still Mr. Kane, you could at least pretend to be objective.<\/p>\n<p>Kucinich is a classic Marxist. He was utterly unfit to hold any elective or appointed office. He destroyed Cleveland as mayor and his antics in Washington put this country at risk.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>His defeat, according to lawmakers, was the latest development in a process that is making Congress a more sanitized, less colorful place. Some of the institution\u2019s most original characters are either retiring or losing reelection battles, in part because their positions or personalities are so easy to caricature. Reps. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) and Norm Dicks (D-Wash.), for example, have announced their retirements.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Barney Frank is the one primarily responsible for the economic mess we are in now. If there were a single iota of honesty, integrity and justice, Frank would now be in a prison for the damage he has done to this country. He has used his office for personal gain many times and has also used ot to destroy people he didn\u2019t like. I will not miss him when he is out, and hopefully, we will get an attorney general that will investigate both him and Christopher Dodd. I\u2019m not holding my breath of course. I don\u2019t know anything about Norman Dicks so I won\u2019t comment on him.<\/p>\n<p>One of the reasons Kucinich lost was his talk of moving to Washington State and running for office there. This didn\u2019t play well in Ohio.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Kaptur compared his consideration of leaving Cleveland to the mid-1990s move by the city\u2019s beloved football team, the Browns, and the 2010 departure of NBA superstar LeBron James \u2014 two psychic blows still deeply felt in a place that bills itself as the \u201cSixth City\u201d even though it\u2019s fallen to the country\u2019s 45th largest in the last 50 years .<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLooks like next in line to abandon us is Dennis Kucinich,\u201d Kaptur\u2019s narrator said in a radio ad.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>THAT had to leave marks.<\/p>\n<p>All I can say is, good riddance to bad trash. Kucinich should have been strung up years ago, but I\u2019ll accept his being booted out of congress. Now, the Republicans just need to run someone against Kaptur and crush her like a bug on a windshield. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/barking_moonbat3.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1657\" title=\"barking moonbat\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/barking_moonbat3.jpg?resize=250%2C244\" alt=\"Barking Moonbat\" width=\"250\" height=\"244\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That is all&#8230;for now<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>~The Angry Webmaster~<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<span id=\"post-ratings-6920\" class=\"post-ratings\" data-nonce=\"fae402c74b\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_6920_1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"1 Star\" title=\"1 Star\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(6920, 1, '1 Star');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(1, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_6920_2\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_off.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"2 Stars\" title=\"2 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(6920, 2, '2 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(1, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_6920_3\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_off.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"3 Stars\" title=\"3 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(6920, 3, '3 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(1, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_6920_4\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_off.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"4 Stars\" title=\"4 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(6920, 4, '4 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(1, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_6920_5\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_off.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"5 Stars\" title=\"5 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(6920, 5, '5 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(1, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/> (<strong>2<\/strong> votes, average: <strong>1.00<\/strong> out of 5)<br \/><span class=\"post-ratings-text\" id=\"ratings_6920_text\"><\/span><\/span><span id=\"post-ratings-6920-loading\" class=\"post-ratings-loading\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/loading.gif?resize=16%2C16&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" class=\"post-ratings-image\" \/>Loading...<\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good day all.
