"I'm a vegan. I'm kind of hungry all the time."

-- Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, after being asked if he planned to hunger strike in solidarity with a group of workers and activists who are fighting against cuts to the Postal Service. Though Kucinich is not joining the four-day hunger strike on the Hill, he said he would "continue to fight any efforts to weaken the Postal Service and any efforts to privatize essential services."
