Will it be a vegan wedding?

My vote for the country's most famous vegan, Dennis Kucinich, is getting married! This is sweet news, and I figured we could all use a little love to end the week.

According to Reuters, Kucinich is going to marry a British citizen, Elizabeth Harper, who works for a monetary policy think tank in Chicago. Eek...monetary policy. That sounds dreadful!

But I think it's sweet. During last year's election, while Rep. Kucinich was running for President, a New Hampshire politics Web site held a national contest to set Kucinich up with a woman - sort of like "The Bachelor" for nerdy, political types. He didn't meet this woman from the contest, but even so, good for him!

OK, here's a George W. joke to end this entry. Have a good weekend, all!

    A guy walks in and asks the bartender, "Isn't that President Bush and Condoleezza Rice sitting over there?" The bartender says, "Yep, that's them." So the guy walks over and says, "Wow, this is a real honor. What are you two doing in here?"

    Bush says, "We're planning WWIII." And the guy says, "Really? What's going to happen?"

    Bush says, "Well, we're going to kill 140 million Iraqis this time and one bicycle repairman."

    The guy exclaimed, "A bicycle repairman!!! Why kill a bicycle repairman?"

    Bush turns to Rice, taps her on the shoulder and says, "See, dummy! I told you no one would worry about the 140 million Iraqis!"

Oh, so sad...
