intriguing that he is not starting from NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND, as his parents live like.. fifteen minutes away from THAMES STREET.

My friend walked across the country as part of some kind of lord-only-knows-what related to the Dennis Kucinich presidential campaign last year. From Maine to Cali. She was one of FOUR PEOPLE. Department of Peace got a big ol' butt.
