For Those Of You Who Remember And Enjoy Anything To Do With MONTY PYTHON ... Please Read On ... Eric Idle Presents "The FCC Song"
[Comments from Monty Python Direct & Eric Idle ... "Here's a little song I wrote the other day while I was out duck hunting with a judge. It's a new song, it's dedicated to the FCC and if they broadcast it, it will cost a quarter of a million dollars."] Click on the following link and listen to this delightful little song:

BIG WEEK & BIG DAY FOR KUCINICH
It was the biggest single week of the primary campaign season for Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich. Before Tuesday’s primary election in Oregon, Kucinich had won 40 delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Boston in late July. With a final tally of almost 17 percent of the vote in Oregon, Kucinich had picked up at least eight more. State conventions in Maine, Colorado and Alaska added another 17 national delegates.

Kucinich Makes Major Gains In Maine
Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich went into the Maine state Democratic convention on Saturday with 14 percent of the February caucus votes and zero national convention delegates. After delivering a speech described as "electrifying" by former Maine House of Representatives Speaker Michael Saxl, Kucinich ended the day with 25 percent of Maine’s Democratic vote and six national delegates. The speech drew huge and frequent bursts of approval and standing ovations from the entire statewide delegation, many of whom had previously pledged to support other candidates that have dropped out since the winter caucuses. According to an Associated Press account of the event "Rep. Dennis Kucinich temporarily made the Democratic State Convention his own with a highly charged attack on the first-term record of Republican President George W. Bush."

Colorado Delegates For Kucinich Nearly Triple
The national delegate count for Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich nearly tripled Saturday at the Colorado state Democratic convention – from five in last month’s caucuses to a total of 14 after final balloting today. Kucinich’s percentage of the statewide vote also went from about 13 percent in April to almost 30 percent when delegates were done voting today. Even his strongest support in the state got stronger. Boulder County Democrats, who had earlier given him a 51 percent majority, today boosted that percentage to more than 55 percent, according to county Kucinich co-chairman Walt Kramarz. The state convention also adopted as part of its platform Kucinich’s proposal to establish a federal Department of Peace.

Kucinich Collects Close To Half Of Alaska's Committed Delegates
In Alaska, Kucinich previously received about 26.5 percent of the vote and five national delegates from the precinct-level caucuses. At Alaska’s state Democratic Convention today, Kucinich picked up two additional delegates. Out of a total 18 possible delegates in Alaska, Kucinich garnered seven delegates to Senator Kerry’s eight. Alaska has three uncommitted super delegates.
