WASHINGTON (AP) -- Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich, suffering from an intestinal ailment, took a few days off from his campaign to undergo tests at an Ohio hospital, spokesman Doug Gordon said Monday.

A media advisory from the campaign said the Ohio congressman was trying to rest and recover from an intestinal ailment. The illness was ``not serious,'' Gordon said. He declined to identify the hospital where Kucinich was seeking treatment or whether it was in Cleveland, the candidate's home town.

1. Get well, Dennis!

You will be back on your feet in no time!

2. His campaign takes a lot of intestinal fortitude

so it's no surprise that would have physical manifestation. Dennis is saying what needs to be said, proposing the things that have to be done to secure a sustainable economy and culture. It has take a huge amount of courage (ie GUTS) to stay on message, even though the message that must be heard is not easy to hear and thus impossible for the consumer culture of Amerika to accept. Dennis will be proven prescient by the future, but being right ahead of time is a tough role to play.

9. Well something kicked Dennis' ass

16. here in Jacksonville FL the news is reporting that he got food

poisoning during a visit here.

18. Doesn't surprise in Jacksonville.

That was the site of massive ballot destruction in 2000 that went unreported.

Restaurants in J'ville are pretty substandard, but I wouldn't doubt the possibility of poisoning there either, it's such a hotbed of subversive wrong wingism.
