Greening '10

A Green Party candidate, journalist LeAlan Jones, is polling at 14 percent in a race to claim Barack Obama's former Senate seat. At the age of 13 in 1993, Jones became the youngest-ever winner of a Peabody Award for his radio documentary film "Ghetto Life 101" about life on Chicago's south side. He's pitching a divine Share our Wealth program that features a 90% "Paris Hilton (estate) tax" on individuals worth a million dollars or more.

The Democrat and Republican parties will have to work overtime to quash the current rules that would seemingly allow Jones' participation in the televised debates. Stay tuned.
