Cenk hosting.  A Kentucky State Senator that also owns a coal plant spoke out against man made climate change by claiming that Mars has the same temperature as Earth, and there are no power plants on that planet.  A Democratic state senator also in favor of coal plants pointed out that the Earth adjusted after the dinosaurs were taken out.  He failed to realize that we are the soon to be extinct dinosaurs in his analogy.  Fox News’ The Five went ballistic on an ad that appeared in the NY Times for calling out Catholicism and their stance against women’s rights.  There are still several states that have laws against anyone running for office that don’t believe in God.  Holly Fisher, the woman that posed in front of an American flag, while holding a machine gun & the Bible appeared on Fox News to talk about how she doesn’t understand the comparisons she’s getting to a female Muslim terrorist that posed the same way, but with the Koran.  After the poisoned drinking water from Freedom Industries in West Virginia affected so many citizens, the regulators fined the corporation $11,000. Glenn Greenwald has revealed more NSA spying that was previously denied.  Cenk outlines the several Muslim, or Muslim sounding citizens that were targeted unjustly. The RNC has decided to hold their convention in 2016 in Cleveland.  The head of the Dallas group looking to woo them to their city, complained and said the decision was purely political.  To this, Cenk says, “Of Course.”  Keith Alexander, former head of the NSA, is going to work as a private contractor in conjunction with the federal government to stave off terrorist attacks.  Former Homeland Security Head, Michael Chertoff is also getting his private company involved on this gravy train.  Rep Alan Grayson is one of the very few public officials that is speaking out against this money/power grab.
