Clifford the Big Red Dog, However, Supports Dean
Perhaps you are one of those sad little cynics who does not believe that Dennis Kucinich can bring a new era of peace to this great land. Perhaps you think he does not have enough endorsements from credible public figures. Perhaps you have not yet heard the revolutionary news...
Dennis Kucinich has been endorsed by all the animals of the forest!!!
And not only that, my friends. Kucinich has also been endorsed by the beloved children's book character Grandfather Twilight. Mr. Twilight gave the news to his creator and illustrator, Barbara Helen Berger, who conducted a wonderful interview with him. Really, I cannot begin to tell you how fantastic this interview is:
Berger: I heard the Gandhi Peace Award for 2003 was given to Dennis Kucinich.
Grandfather Twilight: True. When the whole deep forest heard the news, what joy! From the grassy roots to the tallest trees, we had a standing ovation.
It is probably important to remind you that I am making none of this up.
And let's not forget this classic exchange on current political realities:
Berger: I hear a lot of people say they really like Dennis. They like everything he stands for. But they think it's a lost cause, "He'll never be elected," they say.
Grandfather Twilight: Our highest dreams are real. At the end of each day, I take one tiny pearl in my hand and walk all the way to the edge of the sea. With every step, that tiny pearl keeps growing until it becomes the Moon. I see this happen. My job is to trust it. So, I know what is possible!
