Rand Paul’s filibuster of Brennan nomination so that more answers can come out about the Obama Administration’s declaration that they can kill a U.S. citizen on American soil without a trial, arrest, or formal charge. Holder's justifications.  Videos of Rand Paul going after Obama’s plan to have the power to kill Americans on without a trial.  Videos of the only Democrat that has joined Paul in filibustering. More information from Bradley Manning’s leaks.  US is connected to Iraqi Torture centers and death squads.  Videos of the details of the horrors of the program as outlined in a documentary. We spent $146 billion of Iraqi money and $60 billion of American money on Iraqi reconstruction that ended in nothing. Holder’s testimony about the sheer power of the large banks illustrates that he is aware that they are above the law. Cenk’s take on the death of Hugo Chavez.  Even though Venezuela had its serious issues, that many Americans call a hostile country, the inequality gap in America is more than 2x larger than that of Venezuela.  Apparently, after reading the play Les Mis, Chavez was inspired to give some confiscated property back to some poor citizens.  The interim president believes that Chavez was poisoned. Salon article here. Chavez and Ahmadinejad article.

A teacher at a San Diego Christian school was fired for having sex before marriage and getting pregnant, and replaced by her husband...the man that had sex with her and impregnated her.  A man dressed as Darth Vader went into a smoke shop with Storm Troopers to steal merchandise that they deemed illegal paraphernalia. Real Clear Politics proposed that America should give immigrants the chance to become a U.S. citizen for $50K.  It could either be paid outright, or it could be given as a loan that the new citizen has to pay for right out of their pay for a determined amount of time, turning them into indentured servants. A couple paid over $20K for a surrogate to carry their 4th child that agreed to abort the child if anything was seriously wrong with the baby.  When it was discovered that the baby was going to have a multitude of problems, they called off the pregnancy, but the surrogate ended up not doing it because it is against her religion.  They offered her $10K to do it and she negotiated $15K instead.  To avoid being in breach of the contract, she fled to Michigan where the Connecticut contract wouldn’t be honored.  More drama ensued.  Audio of Adam Carolla going off about wealth and inequality among races in a discussion with Gavin Newsome.  Cenk addresses Carolla’s stupidity. A YouTube video of a 16 year old religious girl’s spoken word poem, speaking out against homosexuality.  A group put out a parody anti-gay video.
