++President Obama tomorrow will unveil "the biggest ,most important step we've taken " to fight climate change. In prior months, EPA chief Gina McCarthy has said that the states can easily meet the requirements of this new standard.
++America's Clean Power Plan will be a set of environmental rules and regulations setting limits on power plant emissions. Believe or not,there are no such limits now.
++40% of the US' emissions of carbon dioxide come from power plants. Coal-fired plants account for 37% of the country's energy outputs.
++In another legacy issue, today's New York Times lead editorial is about the odor of mendacity surrounding the Republicans' attempt to kill the Iran nuclear bill.

Kudos to Wonkette.com
++It wasn't my imagination this week produced an overabundance of Hitler analogies. Wonkette captures them all in a new swingy style like the tabloid " Hush-Hush" in L.A. Confidential. The prize Hitler Wonkette found was the comedian Sarah Silverman for her defense of Planned Parenthood and the use of tissue for medical advances. She was challenged by Ben Shapiro, The exchange is fun but nutty.
++Speaking of nuts, Wayne Allard, who once ran on the Libertarian ticket for either President and Vice President and since has written an article almost every election cycle of classmates not remembering President Obama going to Columbia,promises that the Donald will start trying President Obama and Valerie Jarrett once he wins the White House. At least Valerie isn't dead like the rest of the Right's bugaboos.

Mixed Metaphors and Dead People
++President Obama in the past week has been likened to Neville Chamberlain and Adolf Hitler both. Ms. Lindsey Graham likened Iran to Hitler and Obama to Chamberlain. Mike Huckabee ,when he wasn't using SWAT teams to stop women getting abortions, said that Obama was marching the Jews to the oven doors. John Kerry was called a Judas for betraying Christ, who is what--Israel, Congress. I can't make these out--Donald Trump's aide called Obama an "Islamo-fascist,Nazi appeaser, homosexual Muslim". Doesn't the Islamo cover the Muslim and is he a Nazi who appeases or someone who appeases Nazis who is a fascist? Inquiring minds want to know.
++I have been inundated by right-wingers who want to convince me my sister and mother were wrong to be officers in Planned Parenthood. Well, they admit the videographers did steal people's identity and should be persecuted but this was for a greater good. Just look at Margaret Sanger's YOUTUBE. I pointed out to them that Richard Scaife , conservative philanthropist and funder of the Arkansas Project, had meetings with Margaret Sanger before she died and came away impressed and told the Right to back off Planned Parenthood.
++Now it seems to me the Right has a cult of the Dead. Their boogiemen are all dead--Margaret Sanger, Saul Alinsky, Karl Marx. And their hero--Ronald Reagan is dead. Joe McCarthy is still dead, although he really lives on in the modern conservative mind.
++It seems to me that the women in the video who used the stolen credit card was a rightwing version of Bernardine Dohrn. You forget these people are involved in terrorism against abortion clinics and doctors.
++For the Religious Right, you should remember early Christians only thought someone was a person if they were out of the womb one month.
++But those wacky women,they want to shop for shoes and then they change their minds--I think today would be a perfect day for an abortion. C'mon. It's not like abortions are on a shopping list.
++I'm disappointed that 90% of Planned Parenthood's abortions are in the first trimester so the tissue you get is the size of a kidney bean. That ruins my #Benghazi! barbecue.
++The right's hero George W. had his dad pay for abortions for two of his girlfriends. I guess you can't criticize because it's a guy thing.
++All these e-mails are from 60+ year old white males. I guess they shoot blanks now but why should males have anything to do with women's reproductive rights. We can't even draw a woman's genitalia.

Do You Really Want Them As Allies?
++Christians United For Israel danced the hora and prayed for the end times here in Washington. Remember their end times involves all Jews going back to the Holy Land and then the appearance of Jesus Christ who will smite all Jews who don't convert, In other words their theology demands a second holocaust.
++Strong allies of the Likud party, they are being asked to combat the disinvestment movement on college campuses. Israel was so concerned about the divestment movement, it request Sheldon Adelson to fund a leader to combat it. He choose a Christian Zionist from this group.
