“Dennis Kucinich” on The Daily Caller

It’s not every day, thank heavens, that Louis Farrakhan, Dennis Kucinich and I agree about anything, so imagine my surprise when we all thought that Obama was a moron for deciding to abide by the U.N.’s wishes in Libya. (more)

I am loathe to criticize President Obama on matters of war while we are at war. Then again, apparently this is a kinetic conflict and not an actual war, so maybe there is some latitude. (more)

One of the most outspoken critics of President Barack Obama has been conservative talk show host Mark Levin. But on his Tuesday evening syndicated radio program, Levin stuck up for Obama — at least as far as his right to use U.S. military force against Muammar Gaddafi’s regime in Libya. (more)

Texas Republican Rep. Ron Paul will be co-sponsoring an amendment announced Tuesday by Ohio Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich that would defund the American military intervention in Libya. (more)

It’s a softball question one might expect “Tonight Show” host Jay Leno to ask a political pundit around President’s Day, but MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow had an interesting answer to who her favorite president was. (more)

There are times when I find myself thinking that all of America’s loons are to be found lurking on the far left, but then something like the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) takes place and I have to rethink my position. (more)

Ohio Democrat Rep. Dennis Kucinich sent a letter Friday requesting a meeting with Bradley Manning, the imprisoned Army private who allegedly stole classified government documents that were eventually published by the website Wikileaks. (more)

Jared Loughner’s question for Gabrielle Giffords was utterly incomprehensible. When the Arizona representative couldn’t makes sense of Loughner’s nonsense during a 2007 rally, it set the alleged Tucson gunman off (“Can you believe it, they wouldn’t answer my question“). Loughner felt ignored and then the questions stopped. (more)

CLEVELAND (AP) — Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich (koo-SIN’-ich) has settled a lawsuit against a Capitol Hill cafeteria over a split tooth he says he suffered when he bit into an olive pit in a sandwich wrap. (more)

Did you see the report in The Daily Caller on Wednesday about Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich suing a cafeteria on Capitol Hill for $150,000 over a sandwich he purchased there nearly three years ago? Kucinich claims he hurt his tooth by biting into an olive pit that was part of his vegetarian sandwich, and now he wants to settle this in the courts. Ughh! (more)

1.) FCIC dissenters defend bailing out Wall Street — Two reports will come out of the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission today. The one written by the panel’s liberal majority will blame lax regulation and the banking industry for the collapse of the housing industry. The other, written by commissioners Bill Thomas, a former Republican congressman from California, Keith Hennessey, former chairman of the White House National Economic Council under President George W. Bush, and Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a former director of the Congressional Budget Office, spreads the blame more broadly among “investors, creditors, regulators, homebuyers, and politicians,” all of whom must take “personal responsibility.” The dissenters also defended bailing out Wall Street: “For a policymaker, the calculus is simple: if you bail out AIG and you’re wrong, you will have wasted taxpayer money and provoked public outrage,” the paper reads. “If you don’t bail out AIG and you’re wrong, the global financial system collapses. It should be easy to see why policymakers favored action–there was a chance of being wrong either way, and the costs of being wrong without action were far greater than the costs of being wrong with action.” Thank goodness we didn’t destabilize the global financial system, which might have led to really scary stuff, like high unemployment. (more)

Congressional cafeteria food may not be all that different from elementary school cafeteria grub, at least if you consider the case of Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich, who is suing a congressional eatery for serving him a sandwich “that was unwholesome and unfit for human consumption.” (more)

From 1998 to 2008, longtime Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich won each of his reelection campaigns by at least 49,000 votes. Even in the Democratic bloodbath that was the 2010 midterms, the former mayor of Cleveland and presidential candidate carried his district in northeast Ohio by a 16,000-vote margin, more than 8 percent. So why should he be worried about 2012? (more)

Far-left Rep. Dennis Kucinich made the boldest public comments yet late Monday regarding Democrats’ growing sense that Rep.

Darrell Issa, on the Oversight Committee in the next Congress. (more)

If you’re looking for a new drinking game to play this election season, try taking a shot of tequila every time you hear a Democratic candidate say the phrase “make it in America” from now until Nov. 2. (more)

Companies don’t like competition, it drives down prices and costs them business. Customers, on the other hand, love competition precisely because it drives down prices and saves them money. Government, as a consumer, should like competition, or so you would think, but that’s not always the case. As the saying goes, people are much looser when it comes to spending other people’s money. No-bid contracts are commonplace in Washington, as are sweetheart deals for political allies and donors. The Obama administration has a chance to save millions of our tax dollars on a new fighter plane engine through competition. But the White House, rather than embracing fiscal responsibility, is threatening a veto. (more)
