Cenk hosting today.  Putin signed an annexation of Crimea today and some violence broke out in the region while Russia played dumb about it.  John Kerry told Russia that if they make one move past Crimea, there will be a big problem.  Putin also spoke out today about the hypocritical nature of America and the West in breaking international law to invade sovereign nations.  His words are sadly right.  Crazy Ret Lt. Colonel Ralph Peters spoke to Bill O’Reilly about the situation in Ukraine.  Video of BillO comically pronouncing Russian names on the sanctions list.  Peters then proposed that Obama leads without thinking negotiations will solve all the world’s problems, hinting that we need to threaten force.  Audio of radio host Mark Levin getting mad at a caller’s correction of his grammar while disagreeing over atheism.  MSNBC’s Toure did a solo commentary on why although he believes in the principles Elizabeth Warren espouses, he thinks we can only win if we go with the electable Hillary Clinton.  Cenk goes off on this opinion.  Scary Chart Time on carbon dioxide levels and climate change.  A NC State Rep that wrote radically wrong and incendiary things about homosexuality and AIDS back in the ‘80s is still defending his assertion that “Weaponized AIDS” is being wielded by gays.  President Nixon’s young attorney, Louis Powell had the idea to use the SCOTUS to help The Chamber of Commerce and corporations to control the government and country.  Ever since Powell got on the Court and implemented these kinds of rules, the Court has gone along with The Chamber’s opinion nearly all of the time.

The boy from 2 and a Half Men has come out again talking about how badly he felt doing the show that he didn’t believe in.  He also regretted the way he went out; judging everyone.  Cenk comes out firing on the guy.  Ana doesn’t really care.  Cenk asks Jesus if he would choose to be the judgemental Christian fundamentalist this kid turned out to be, or be a cocaine addict.
