Over at TPM, Eric Kleefield has accepted the harrowing chore of perusing Shirley MacLaine's new book and has discovered a delightful story about how her friend, Dennis Kucinich, told her that during a visit to her Washington state home, he communed with a UFO:
"Dennis found his encounter extremely moving," MacLaine writes. "The
smell of roses drew him out to my balcony where, when he looked up, he
saw a gigantic triangular craft, silent, and observing him."It hovered, soundless, for 10 minutes or so, and sped away with a
speed he couldn't comprehend. He said he felt a connection in his heart
and heard directions in his mind."
And here people were worried that a President Romney might take orders from the Mormon elders...

If I had Dennis Kucinich's wife, I wouldn't be soft on anything.

Good point rat. Anytime there's inexplicable phenomena - Stonehedge, crop circles, Kucinich's wife - aliens always seem to be involved. Perhaps there's more to Mrs. K than meets the eye? (Yes, I realize the door I just opened there.)

Remember the old Firesign Theatre bit? "Aliens! Register now! The Aliens Registration Administration advises all aliens that they must register now. All aliens must appear, however briefly, at the Administration's offices on Nooker Street."

Perhaps it's just me, but it seems Dennis Kucinich might have chosen a better day to question George
