you have a pretty sweet gig now."

I sleep better knowing that LeBron Kucinich likes your sweet gig.

Thank God, cause I couldn't get your gig.

LeBron Kucinich?

Is that because they dissolved his district, and he MIGHT NOT run again in a new district?

Because after decades of serving the people of Cleveland and Lakewood he might retire at the age of 65?

I am missing the LeBron connection.

I mean a LeBron connection would be working to build a team and just when they were
starting to be good and get where they need to be to accomplish goals they walked away
to try something similar but different for themselves and not the team, because some
control freak was telling them what is best for them. Right?

I understand that the Congressman will likely be a victim of gerrymandering. The district that covers Lakewood has been reconfigured several times in our lifetimes.

I am suggesting that it is a LeBron, and unseemly to be courting other "teams" while he is still the clear leader of our "team".

And I doubt the Congressman ever used "sweet gig" but you know him much better than I.

From what I see the Congressman has every right as did LeBron to court whatever after
his contract is up. I unlike so many other Clevelanders do not fault LeBron for his move. If
the Congressman moves, retires, or whatever I will wish him well and thank him for his
service. I see neither one as giving up, or walking away from the team.

But is you go back and read, it was a combination of what Kenneth Warren(Sweet gig)
and Congressman Kucinich's "You seem to really love what you are doing and you are
making a difference" that was combined into "sweet gig." Thank you for the prompt to
clear up that important comment.
