From Karin Caifa:
Kucinich travels to New York Thursday to tape an appearance on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” with Jon Stewart. He is the second of the nine candidates to appear on the show since declaring (Dick Gephardt was the first; Joe Lieberman has appeared on the show several times, but not since opening his ’04 bid.) According to show co-publicists Steve Albiani and Renate Luczak, they’re hoping to host all of the candidates before the primary season gets into full swing. Steve says the show hopes to enjoy even more success than they had with “Indecision 2000,” and that out of the candidates he’s approached so far, “everyone wants to do it because of the smart, clever forum Jon provides.”
From Chicago today Kucinich asked the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio to revoke the operating license of FirstEnergy Corp., saying mismanagement at the utility played a big role in last week’s blackout. Kucinich says the company has a “long history of mismanagement and neglect.” People in Cleveland were warned by FirstEnergy that rolling blackouts were still possible as air conditioners put more demand on the system.
