It was '92, and he was running for an open congressional seat in NE Ohio, with a cast of thousands. He hadn't held office, or a job, since he was booted out as Mayor of Cleveland about twenty years earlier. He's about 5'3", darkly died black hair, and all the wrinkles of methusala. I said, "Dennis, you've been around since I was a kid. I'm a political junkie, but for the life of me, I have no idea what you stand for?" He just looked at me blankly, and up until this point, we'd been having a friendly animated conversation. He had no idea what to say. He's an airhead. He didn't come close to winning the primary. Four years later, he knocked off a sitting conservative in a very rotten democrat burough. Now we'll never be rid of him. But that's a good thing, because if I had to pick my enemies, I'd want them all to be idiots like Dennis and Nancy. I had a one-on-one with Dennis during his wilderness years.

Somewhere around the 1080 mark is the name "CPO Dick Hertz" serving on the USS Stennis. It took me all of 5 minutes to create a hotmail account and sign the petition. I bet reknowned sock puppets Ben Dover, Jon Bon Jovi and Albert Einstein are on that petition as well. For the record, I have never been on the Stennis, but I did watch it being built when I was on Building 65, the Big E. Long time reader, first time posting…
