Goldman Sachs has hired Gregory Craig, President Barack Obama’s former White House counsel, to assist it on political and legal matters, a source familiar with the firm told POLITICO. Craig’s work for the Wall Street giant comes to light as Goldman faces SEC charges of securities fraud. Craig -- now in private practice at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom -- “is clearly an attorney of eminence and has a deep understanding of the legal process and the world of Washington. And those are important worlds for everybody in finance right now,” the source said.

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."

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?
The President & CEO of C.L.I.C.K. Services, NFP, Dr. Fred Nance Jr., received his Bachelor and Master degrees from Roosevelt University, Chicago, Illinois. Dr. Nance received his PhD from Walden University. His doctoral studies are in the discipline of Human Services with a focus on Social Policy Analysis and Planning. Dr. Nance has examined and studied social theoretical constructs, conducted research on policy issues, and professional practices in societal development, human development, organization and social systems, and ethics.
