Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens announced Friday that he is retiring – giving President Barack Obama his second seat to fill on the nation's high court. Stevens' retirement, while widely expected, means the court is losing the head of its liberal wing. Stevens plans to step down when the court completes its work in June or July.

Another Democrat bowing out because we have a black President.
Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.), who had a central role in the health reform fight as the lead of anti-abortion Democrats, plans to announce Friday that he will not run for reelection, a Democratic official said. Without Stupak on the ballot, the seat becomes an immediate pickup opportunity for Republicans.

President Barack Obama signed a new nuclear arms reduction treaty with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in Prague Thursday. The new agreement replaces the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, or START, that expired in December and must be ratified by the U.S. Senate. The countries agreed to reduce the number of warheads on each side by one-third, to about 1,500, and the treaty would limit long-range missiles.

It's not bad enough that, for some time forward, the words "Republican National Committee" will be the most frequent phrase surfacing in online search terms using the words "West Hollywood bondage club." Now leaders of the RNC have to contend with the defection of key constituencies from the committee's donor base.

The small gang of Somali pirates fired on an approaching ship, hoping their midnight attack would bring them millions in ransom. The ragtag bandits, though, had taken on far more than they could handle: a U.S. warship.

What are the social policy implications?
Dr. Fred Nance Jr. is a voice for the underserved, disenfranchised, and disadvantaged.
From ancient Egyptian philosophers spoken and written of by Molefi Asante, Jacob Caruthers, Chiek Anta Diop and Psychologist Wade Noble; to ancient Greek thinkers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle; to Christian philosophers such as Augustine, Anselm, Aquinas and R.C. Sproul; to the shapers of modern thought such as Hume, Kant, Nietzsche, Illinois Congressman Danny Davis and Dr. Terra Thomas; What are the consequences of each of these thinkers and other important thinkers' ideas on world events, theology, the fine arts and culture? Are we, as a society, still scratching to survive our ideologies? Many of us work, interact and socialize with each other because we have too. There is a small percentage of those who do it because they want too. We draw racial and political boundaries to protect ourselves from being known for who we really are. What is your contribution to this trivia?

Double suicide bombings kill 38 on Moscow subway - Yahoo! News
Female suicide bombers blew themselves up Monday in twin attacks on Moscow subway stations packed with rush-hour passengers, killing at least 38 people and wounding more than 60, officials said. The carnage blamed on rebels from the Caucasus region follows the killings of several high-profile Islamic militant leaders there. What makes them think they are outside of everything else going on in this crazy world?

Benefits extension on hold for recess - Manu Raju - POLITICO.com
With no clear path to resolve the dispute, unemployment insurance is set to expire April 5, COBRA health coverage for the jobless will stop on March 30, and doctors serving Medicare patients will suffer a 21 percent cut in reimbursement rates — but Congress won’t be back in session until April 12. That means that people relying on those benefits — and the government agencies dealing with them — could face some discomfort in the coming weeks.

President Obama announced 15 recess appointments on Saturday, including two new members of the National Labor Relations Board. "The United States Senate has the responsibility to approve or disapprove of my nominees,” Obama said. “But if, in the interest of scoring political points, Republicans in the Senate refuse to exercise that responsibility, I must act in the interest of the American people and exercise my authority to fill these positions on an interim basis.” Obama said the appointees had waited an average of 214 days to be confirmed.
