US and Russia announce deal to cut nuclear weapons

US President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev have agreed a new nuclear arms reduction treaty after months of negotiations. The final agreement came in a phone call between the two leaders. The deal replaces the 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, which expired in December. It will be signed in Prague on 8 April, the White House said. Both sides agreed to cut their arsenals last year, but disagreements on verification have held up a deal. In a speech in Prague last year Mr Obama set out his vision of moving towards a world without nuclear weapons. The US is said to have more than 2,000 deployed strategic nuclear weapons, while Russia is believed to have more than 2,500. Both sides agreed in July to reduce that number to between 1,500 and 1,675 each. added by: 02

Radical Right taking to vandalism to express their anger toward Health Care reform. Rachel Maddow has more.

Paul Krugman steps back to compare the strategies used by both sides in the health care debate.

Just a portion of this fascinating opinion piece from the New York Times : And let’s be clear: the campaign of fear hasn’t been carried out by a radical fringe, unconnected to the Republican establishment. On the contrary, that establishment has been involved and approving all the way. Politicians like Sarah Palin — who was, let us remember, the G.O.P.’s vice-presidential candidate — eagerly spread the death panel lie, and supposedly reasonable, moderate politicians like Senator Chuck Grassley refused to say that it was untrue. On the eve of the big vote, Republican members of Congress warned that “freedom dies a little bit today” and accused Democrats of “totalitarian tactics,” which I believe means the process known as “voting.” Krugman really does no more than state the obvious, but he does so in a way that is

"Republicans originally thought that Fox worked for us, and now we are discovering we work for Fox"

I know that the GOP has always had corporate masters, but this is ridiculous!

Palin returns to Facebook and threatens to punish 20 of the Democrats who dared oppose her will.

From ADN : “We’re going to fire them and send them back to the private sector, which has been shrinking thanks to their destructive government-growing policies,” she said in her Facebook posting. “Maybe when they join the millions of unemployed, they’ll understand why Americans wanted them to focus on job creation and an invigorated private sector.” Palin said they’ll be focusing on three districts in Arkansas, Indiana and Tennessee where Democrats are retiring as well as on 17 incumbents in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Alabama, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia. Sister Sarah is in a right snit about the passing of this health care bill and she is bound and determined to raise enough money to challenge these upstart Democrats even if it bankrupts every single one of her wide eyed drooling followers to do it! I bet that almost makes it hard for her to sleep on her 300 count Egyptian silk sheets, in

Biden drops an F-bomb for health care

Our Vice President loves to speak his mind. And overwhelmed with the significance of passing health care reform, he wasn't going to pass up the opportunity to tell the President exactly what he thought about the momentous occasion: “It's a big fucking deal.” Here's the video. I love this moment because it seems so Biden. He tells Obama it's a big deal and that doesn't seem to get through, so he re-emphasizes with an f-bomb. Of course, we at Current have long known how footloose and fancyfree the Vice President can be with his boss. We've been following their relationship through the hard-hitting documentary series with the best access in the free world: “Supernews”. Check out the job fair the two of them hosted, for example, in which the Vice President dressed as a clown and made fun of Canadians! Luckily for Mr. Biden, everyone seems to adore his antics. We certainly do, and it would seem that even the White House Press Secretary is on board. He responded to Biden's newest gaffe/ROFLMAO with this on Twitter: added by: afitzgerald
