'Kid Kucinich' is back in the news...

Thursday, January 27, 2011

It must have been a slow news day since one of the stories in the Plain Dealer was about that crazy ‘Kid Kucinich’ (I remember him from his mayoral days and recall elections) and a $150,000 lawsuit. Apparently, he’d gone to a cafeteria in the House of Representative back in 2008 and ordered a veggie wrap…which he received, but also included an olive pit…at no extra charge. When he bit into the pit and caused some kind of damage to his teeth…and his serenity…he sued the cafeteria for serving him a meal “containing a dangerous substance, namely an olive pit.”

I’m not trying to make light of this…I’m sure he incurred some pain, discomfort, inconvenience and expense and deserves some remuneration. But $150,000? Really?? And he wanted to be president…of the country?

I rode 40 minutes while Holly was making dinner. It was some kind of rice concoction with spinach, acorn squash, garlic and other, unidentifiable but tasty stuff. Later that night, she asked me to go for a walk. She’s been skipping her walks because the cold plays havoc with her hands and feet…and the sidewalks, though plowed, are pretty slippery. We did our normal 20 minute route, but it took closer to 40 with the limited traction and about 2 inches of new snow in our path. Like any program…you just have to get started.
