++The Washington Post actually did a fact-check on the film Noah. They didn't get to the issue of whether the whole biblical episode is based on any facts.But you will be able to order the DVD from their owner Amazon.
++Thousands of Crimean Tatars fled to the Ukraine.
++John Boehner says that even if the Senate voted for an extension of unemployment benefits the House doesn't have time to consider it. This will not hurt the Republicans.
++Hungary opposes economic sanctions against Russia. Angela Merkel is toughening her stance on Putin despite internal opposition in Germany.
++President Obama will expand American covert operations in Syria.
++Senate Democrats propose a 60-vote threshold for any changes in Medicate--good idea.
++Eric Holder will recognize Michigan's same sex marriages even if Governor Snyder won't.
++A Federal court upheld Texas' draconian anti-abortion law. Since another shot one down in Wisconsin, this will end up in the Supreme Court.
++Another reason for the right to hate Obamacare. It's estimated that 3-7 million new voters will be registered through Obamacare or roughly 10% that have been registered.
++Unemployment dropped in 29 states,rose in 10, and remained the same last month in 11. Hiring rose in 33 states and fell in 17.

Day Light Savings Time
++It's that time of year when my servers go down twice a day and the political rhetoric goes off the charts into insanity.
++We have escaped AIPAC and CPAC this year. CPAC got more media coverage than they have political support. Josh Marshall at Talking Points Memo should be commended for telling it like it is. Media outlets don't have to spend money to cover like Netroots. DC is a Republican biased town. And besides CPAC organizers know "crazy" sells.
++Andrew Sullivan at his Dish tells us that just as you think the Obama era is over,it is now reaching its maximum impact in the economy. Check out his charts.
++Liberal blogger Bartcop,Terry Coppage, died at the age of 60 from pneumonia and leukemia. It is amazing that he had been blogging since 1999. Democratic blogs have spent two days genuinely mourning his loss.
++We are in the final stretch of signing up for Obamacare. Rather than avoid it, Democrats are fighting back against crooked ads bought by the Koch Brothers. Harry Reid and the Senate Democrats are now openly attacking the Koch Brothers. Effective ads refuting their healthcare ads are running in North Carolina,Alaska, Michigan and Louisiana.
++The I.G. of the Post Office has endorsed the idea of having the Post Office provide cash checking services for customers and same-day loans. The idea was actually used in the early 20th Century . His report supports Senator Warren's proposal of the same.
++We were entertained by the CPAC attacks on Obama as a tyrant who is weak. One thing I noticed was that CPAC seemed to go out of its way to invite felons. Ollie North, Scooter Libby and Bernard Kerik were in attendance.
++2 million people on the White House website signed a petition against the Keystone Pipeline. Bill McKibben thanked the millions who have demonstrated against or signed the petition,saying the grassroots came through.
++Rand Paul romped to victory in the CPAC poll. Republicans are now split between the Paul-Snowden wing and the Putin supporters. Peter King is upset by the Paul victory because it means that the isolationist wing of the party is growing.
++Obama won a plurality of Americans 48 to 43 on his handling of the Ukraine situation.
++But the Sunday shows wanted Blood and Guts Cheney to advocate a military option. I guess that means thermonuclear war.
++The Crimean Tatars have vowed jihadist actions if Russia takes over the Crimea permanently. Terrific!
++Senator Feinstein is very angry that the CIA spied on the Senate. Spare us the melodrama. Just release the Detention and Torture Report. The public has the right to know. It's a little late in the game to cry that the CIA violated the constitution. When hasn't it?
++There is a little Cold War by Saudi Arabia against Qatar for their not treating the Moslem Brotherhood as a terrorist organization.
++The Iraqi President al-Maliki charged that Saudi Arabia and Qatar are terrorists themselves for supporting Sunni insurgents in Iraq.
++Refugees from Syria now number 4 million and counting.
