Sunday-Still Frigid Rain in D.C.

++Same sex marriage is now a reality all over the United Kingdom. Big Ben struck twelve twice. Elton John announced he was getting married.

++Ross Douhout in the New York Times tried to explain today why the Red States with supposedly conservative religious values leads the nation in poverty,health care problems,divorce and porn addiction. He doesn't really.

++General Martin Dempsey is in Israel today to pacify Israel on its complaints about American policy in the Ukraine and in the Middle East in general.

++The classified American documents about Israel stealing American weapons-grade uranium in the late 1960s and 1970s have been released.

++Paul Krugman wonders why there is a news blackout about Obamacare hitting its numbers when the website screwup dominated the news for months.

++Senator Barraso of Wyoming claims that the Obama administration is fudging the figures--sort of like the labor numbers.

++Michelle Bachmann screamed about the lawlessness of the Obama Administration changing the healthcare deadlines. Interesting HHS has the right, according to the law, to set the deadlines as it sees fit.

++Democrats are missing an opportunity by not seizing on the fact that red states are cheating over 7.7 million Americans out of health insurance by denying Medicaid expansion.

++The National Review admits that ACA was the biggest defeat for "small government " conservatives in a generation.

++Chris Christie blew his audition with Adelson in Vegas by referring to the West Bank as occupied territory. Republican Zionist organizations lectured him on the miscue and he blew them off. GOP donors are so hysterical they are courting Jeb Bush to throw his hat in the ring.

++Wisconsin may have made it into the Final Four but it is now 2nd in job losses in the United States.

++The New York Times and other media outlets are finally getting hip to the efforts by the GOP to limit voting in key Swing States. 

++Russia Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov met with John Kerry in Paris today. Russia wants greater autonomy for Southern and Eastern Ukraine and insist they will protect Russian speakers. But, of course, they will not invade the Ukraine.

++One of the common themes at the Vegas show-and-pony show was the United States must become "aggressive against international challenges." Has anyone figured out yet that the GOP has no foreign policy experts anymore. The Grade B team of neo-cons will be in their late 60s and early 70s by 2016.
