Dennis Kucinich with his black friendSo right now I’m in Geneva, Ohio, situated on the coast of Lake Erie. Geneva, for those of you that don’t know, is a small suburban (read: white) city adjacent to Cleveland (read: black). It seems like an opportune moment then to post some links and amazing pictures about Dennis Kucinich’s tenure as mayor of Cleveland. Not only was he the youngest mayor (31) of a major city, but he also saved Cleveland’s local public power plant, Muni Light, from being acquired by the bastard CEI.

During his tenure he was also compared with famous pop culture icons of 1950s television, including Dennis the Menace and Adolf Hitler. No mention of any small woodland creatures, however. Now, I don’t know if any of this makes him more electable, but… yeah, that’s pretty much it.

One issue of the Cleveland Magazine published in 1979 even featured a lengthy cartoon that depicted Kucinich as an Adolf Hitler-esque dictator.

How do you have a lengthy cartoon? Was it like a grpahic novel printed in the paper?
