++Pamela Geller says she is Rosa Parks.
++Bernie Sanders appeared on Rachel Maddow and said he has 175,000 volunteers for his campaign. He did raise more than Rand Paul. Ted Cruz,and Marco Rubio is the first 24hours.
++Larry Flynt had one of the most important endorsements. He backed Hillary Clinton. His point is simple--The next President has the opportunity to appoint a Supreme Court that could reverse the right-leaning tendency of the Court since the 1960s.
++Hillary Clinton plans to celebrate Cinco de Mayo at Ranchero High School in Las Vegas where the student body is 70% Hispanic. Her preliminary remarks indicate she will support a pathway to citizenship. Expect a GOP explosion in response.
++Willard Romney attacked Hillary Clinton's Dinkins' Lecture saying she politicized Baltimore. Seems she wrote a detailed policy paper rather quickly to do that. Willard objected to her phrase "Mass inceration". We are number 1! in the world in imprisoning citizens.
++Kudos to Hillary's response team on their quick slap down of ClintonCash, the book. So far they have contained any real damage.
++It may have dinged her approval rating in the latest NBC/WSJ poll where she is at 42-42. But all Republicans are in the negative ratings.
++The NBC/WSJ poll shows that Hillary still is beating every GOP competitor. She beats Jeb 49 to 43,Rubio 49 to 43,Walker 50 to 40. Rand Paul comes closest 47 to 43.

New York Is Saved and Other Sunday Notes
++Sean Hannity made good on his promise and has moved to Florida but keeping a ranch in Texas. New Yorkers can breathe easier now.
++In the ceremony opening the 9-11 Museum,the program deleted the scheduled musical interlude of "A Bridge over Troubled Waters" after Chris Christie spoke.
++California is burning as forest fires ramped up again as the entire state is considered a drought zone.
++April was the second hottest in recorded history.
++Richard Scaife, the 81-year old owner of the Pittsburgh Tribune has incurable cancer. Dick Scaife was a primary funder of conservative causes and institutions for generations.
++This week you can read about the largest funders of the Right in the new book "Sons of Wichita", which chronicles the history of the Scaife family and their emergence on the political scene. Goodies include inter-family disputes ,including private eyes, in the dispute over the father's estate,David's hedonistic heydays,the family's blackmailing the gay son, and the long history of federal violations. The book doesn't flinch from Dad, who favored Mussolini.
++Australia reports that "carbon sink", the capacity of the ocean to absorb carbon, has reached the tipping point where it threatens the entire marine food chain.
++Greenland is melting at a faster rate than previously thought but here in North America, glaciers in British Columbia and Alaska are melting even faster and getting now news coverage.
++Karl Rove this morning doubled down on Hillary's "brain damage" and Rinse Penis said that Hillary's health and age are fair game.
++This week may not be a good one for Karl Rove. There is a story about to emerge about his divorce and his ex-wife accusing Karl of having an affair with a man. I'm betting it doesn't emerge because of Rovian pressures and that gay is so passé.
++There has been an explosion of same-sex marriage decisions and stays it's getting confusing. Arkansas, Utah, Idaho, and the list goes on.
++Michael Lind has a provocative article in Salon about possible party alignments because of the death of "social conservatism".
++Conservative websites are attacking Jeb Bush for a host of imaginary ideological crimes but the nastiest writing is attacking his wife. They claim she doesn't like being a political wife,she isn't fluent in English,has the well-documented problem with Customs, bringing in significant purchases without declaring them. But I guess if you can attack Michelle Obama , you can attack Jeb's wife. Doonesbury today has a fake Jeb interview for good fun.
++The Right--or at least the social conservatives who met the other year at Mount Vernon--met here in Washington behind closed doors. Considering the GOP thinks this is their year,what are the Right complaining about--the nature of the GOP.
++Rubio must be running. He again asserted his anti-choice position and denied climate change. That's pretty ballsy considering this week scientific blogs ran maps how Miami and southern Florida will disappear because of the rise in the sea.
++This past week's announcement that the West Antarctic ice sheets are collapsing faster than expected raise the issue of how conservative climate scientists are. The UN report undervalued the impact of the melting poles and glaciers on the climate. What you have read is really worse.
++Ms. Geller is back hiring busses to run her anti-Islam ads and ,of course, invoked the Holocaust. Could we reach agreement that the term "Holocaust" be used only for the Holocaust. And "Hitler" is the historical figure Hitler and not Barack Obama.

Happy V-D Day--Day 2 of the Ron Paul Love Revolution
Civility is breaking out all over. That's what the C in CPAC stands for. Rush Limbaugh is bitter that conservative principles are up for sale and that Mitch Daniels called on Republilcans to appeal to more than the Dittoheads. Glenn Beck warned conservatives about being infiltrated by communists and Islamists.
Pamela Geller agreed with Beck and David Horowitz that the conservative movement is infiltrated by the Muslim Brotherhood. Is she related to Uri Geller? Can she bend spoons with her nose?
The Young Americans for Freedom expelled Ron Paul--not for his age but for his positions on war.
General Boykin told Glenn Beck that he is asked every day about when we should take up arms against Barack Obama. The General previously said that the healthcare bill was meant to create a brownshirt militia for Obama.
John Boehner said that he thinks Obama is a Christian but he wouldn't comment on the whole birther conspiracy. But at the National Prayer Breakfast, Tom Coburn leaped to his feet to declare to the audience that Obama was "his brother in Christ." Tom probably has been expelled from the conservative movement this week.
Ten states have taken up the call for birther legislation. If passed, I can't run for President because I don't have a long-form borth certificate from New Jersey.
It's National Condom Day so don't get any on you.
Barack Obama announced that his new budget would bring domestic spending down to a percentage of government spending equal to Dwight David Eisenhower's day. Was this a slap at the GOP who has abandoned Ike? A little problem with the budget, however, the defense budget is the largest since WWII. That's without the raises the GOP wants to add.
Paul Krugman has an excellent summation of the GOP's budget proposals dubbing it "Killing the Future." Others called it "Killing Elmo" since PBS is under the axe. Does Juan Williams want to be identified with killing Sesame Street?
The teabaggers are saying that shutting down the government is just a "liberal bugaboo". Steve King wants to call Obama's bluff by shutting down government unless Obama withdraws health care.
The Shia in Bahrain are protesting even though the royal family has given out checks for $3,000 to everyone.
Both American and French officials have urged the Algerian government not to crack down and suppress demonstrations there.
The Palestinians cabinet has resigned and Abbas promises elections soon.
The King of Kings, Muammar Qaddafhi has urged all Palestinians to line up around the borders of Israel to demand a state.
The Iranian government has jailed the titular leaders of the Green Revolution and started to repress demonstrators using rubber bullets and teargas. The United States Government openly called for Tehran to allow the demonstrations to proceed since the Iranian Government hailed the Egyptian Revolution. the U.S. Government is tweeting in Farsi as the demonstrations proceed.
A reform movement is beginning to organize in Saudi Arabia. What happens to Fox News when saudi Arabia falls? Their number 2 owner is a Saudi prince. Do they juet light up half the set when his wealth is seized?
The Latest rumor is that Hosni Mubarak is in a coma. This raises the question of how anyone could believe that Mubarak had any role to play in a transition when he is terminally ill. The New York Times ran a piece saying that Secretary of state Clinton and Joe Biden urged such a stance on Obama but Obama refused. Apparently, President Obama was as furious as I was when Ambassador Wisner went on Fox and apologized for Mubarak. Luckily, President Obama didn't listen to the old guard.
But Niall Ferguson feels different in this issue of Newsweek. The neo-imperalist Brit, who has made his recent living travelling to Aspen and Davos selling the dangers of the fall of the American empire, writes that Egypt was a rookie mistake by the "most inexperienced President in foreign affairs" and has created an enormous power vaccuum. Niall thought George W was great even though he had only been to Mexico and once to China prior to assuming the Presidency.
Israel is breathing easier once the Egyptian military said that all treaties would be honored. Now Israel's Defense Minister has gone on the record saying that the Egyptian revolution was far different from the Iranian Revolution. But some of the Israeli press lament that the change in government in Egypt means that an attack on Iran is off. As Wikileaks showed Mubarak was one of the most energetic booster for war with Iran until the last American.
Speaking of treaties, Don Rumsfeld said that he thought it was not advisable for other governments to prosecute George W. Bush for torture because it would admit to the idea of "universal jurisdiction". Curiously enough the Torture Convention ,which we are a signatory to, calls for the "universal jurisdiction" of prosecution to anyone indicted for torture. And the United States under George W actually accepted this when they tried Charles Taylor's son for torture in Florida.
Love is in the air. Italians are demonstrating to bring Sylvio Berlusconi down because of his sex scandals. He said he always made "women feel special". A real candidate for the Love Revolution!
Former Luv Gov Sanford appeared on the beach with his bikini'ed Argentinian journalist. But now he's been replaced with another Luv Gov, the teabagger favorite Ms. Haley, who it seems is still embroiled in the sex controversy that started during the primary. I'm glad South Carolina is keeping up the tradition.
Virginia is no longer for Lovers. The Cooch has decided he wants an immigration law like Arizona.
