Years ago I attended a US congressional hearing hosted by the Progressive Caucus which was chaired by US Congressman Dennis Kucinich (Democrat-Ohio). Clearly Congressman Kucinich's world view based on this hearing was that government, NOT businesses create jobs in America. Now he is ready to take his show on the road again -- he ran for President of the USA in 2004 -- by announcing his candidacy to become the Democratic Party's nominee for the 2008 presidential campaign.
Congressman Kucinich is the former mayor of Cleveland, Ohio, which is not one of America's most literate cities (see http://erasmusbookclub.blogspot.com -- "Cities for Readers" posting), and is a true peace activist who promises to create a "Department of Peace" -- his campaign website is not clear regarding whether he would keep the "Department of Defense" or just add another federal department to increase the size of government. Hey politicians, how about creating a "Department of Government Garage Sales" to sell buildings, furniture, etc. of agencies and departments that I would eliminate during my one term as President? :)
Congressman Kucinich's wife -- Elizabeth -- is a self-described "Libran" so clearly astrology would guide her as our First Lady. I am a big fan of President Ronald Reagan but was never fond of his wife, Nancy, who reportedly was a great believer in the influence of astrology so assuming Kucinich wins the White House we may see a revival of astrology on the national stage. Readers can review Elizabeth's musings at her campaign blog and TV interview from 2005 via You Tube which are found at --

NOTE -- Dennis and Elizabeth met at Shirley McLaine's home in New Mexico. As most readers Ms. McLaine's has a rather colorful history and personal beliefs. Her personal website features a tab focused on "Astrology" so perhaps she will be named the "Secretary of Peace" if President Kucinich is sworn in in January 2009:
