Peace, Man

Rep. (and ex-presidential hopeful) Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, has found a partner in the Senate for his efforts to create a new Peace Department. Sen. Mark Dayton, D-Minn., has introduced a measure that would "elevate [the] Reagan-established Institute of Peace to [a] Cabinet-level department" known as the Department of Peace and Nonviolence. That "Reagan-established" part is a nice touch.
