/p> p>Reading Shawn Macomber's account of Dennis Kucinich campaigning in New Hampshire only intensified my embarrassment -- Kucinich is my Congressman.

Yep, that's our Dennis, N.E. Ohio's favorite son. I was born and raised in Cleveland and lived quite a bit of my life there, especially during the "Golden Years" of Kucinich's brilliant rule as Mayor. Many thought that the late Ralph Perk, another former mayor, highlighted the ills and downward spiral of the city at that time when he set his hair on fire (to match the burning Cuyahoga River) during a metal-ribbon cutting ceremony (oxyacetylene torches do a great job at that). Oh no, you had to have lived through the Reign of Dennis K., Hero of the Working Class, when he virtually and single-handedly drove Cleveland into default and almost bankruptcy.

p>Is there any reason why I've lived outside of Cuyahoga County and next door to Akron for many years after that? Macomber does a great job of illuminating the little twit.
