Kevin Kamps, Beyond Nuclear joins Thom Hartmann. In a little over a week - we'll hit the one-year anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami that triggered a nuclear crisis at Fukushima in Japan. And this week - we're learning that that nuclear crisis is even worse than was originally thought. On Wednesday - Japanese Scientists announced that twice as much radioactive cesium than estimated blew out of the plant after the earthquake and tsunami. That's about 40000 trillion bequerels. And it took just 18 days for those radioactive particles to encircle the planet - turning up in places as far away as Vermont. French scientists are now calling on Japan to remain vigilant in its inspections of fruit, milk, and game to prevent further radiation contamination. These new numbers come on the heels of a Greenpeace report on the Fukushima disaster - in which the organization places the blame for the crisis - NOT on the natural disaster - but instead on the Japanese Government. The report accuses the Japanese government of ignoring the risks posed to Fukushima before the earthquake and "cutting corners to protect profits over people." It goes on to argues that nuclear energy is "inherently unsafe" and governments are too quick to approve nuclear power plants, while at the same time unable to the consequences of nuclear disasters. That includes the United States. Currently - there are 23 General Electric Mark 1 reactors in operation around the United States. The Mark 1 is the same ...

Ginger McCall, EPIC Open Government Counsel & David Jacobs, Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) joins Thom Hartmann. Imagine you went out into your garden to relieve yourself - and a photo was taken of you and shared all over the Internet. That's the definition of a bad day. But that's exactly what happened to a very unlucky Frenchman who recently discovered his "act of alleviation" prominently displayed on Google Maps' street view. After being ridiculed by his neighbors, the Frenchman is now suing Google for infringement of privacy - and wants his image taken off Google Maps. Google's lawyers are calling the case "implausible." But aside from this case - in which Google camera trucks are snapping pictures of people in unfortunate situations - what kind of privacy should we expect when we go onto the web in the privacy of our own homes? For example - the Occupy Wall Street movement has relied heavily on the Internet - with individuals within the movement using it as an essential organizing tool. Do they have privacy from...say...the Department of Homeland Security tracking them? No.

George Bush wanted to attack North Korea. President Obama chose a different approach. How has traditional diplomacy helped the President score a major win?

You wake up - you can't take a shower. You can't brush your teeth. You can't use the bathroom. You can't cook. You can't clean. You can't do laundry. You can't really do anything. Luckily - this isn't really a problem facing most Americans...but it might be soon.

The Good! *Bill Gates* Gates told a crowd of energy entrepreneurs and scientists yesterday that, "It's crazy how little we're funding energy." The Bad! *Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell* McDonnell signed a bill yesterday overturning the state's landmark one-gun-a-month law that was enacted in the early 1990's. And the Very Very Ugly! *Alabama State Republicans* Since the state Republicans enacted the extreme immigration law HB 56 - Latino children have been forced to stay home from school and have been denied food stamps despite being born in the United States.

Even though nothing in the Constitution says only humans can run for political office - the campaign still faces an uphill battle - since federal law says Senate candidates must be at least 30 years old and be citizens. However - in cat-years Hank is 52 - old enough to be a seasoned politician - and he's an American purebred!

Richard Fowler, Democratic Strategist & Anthony Holm, Republican Strategist. The Walker Recall moves forward & Polls are closing in Michigan - and it's likely to be a long night before a winner is named.

While some Conservatives may be nauseated by the seperation of church and state - how is it an essential pillar of our democracy?

You would think increased knowledge would make an individual more understanding of science. You would be wrong - at least regarding a certain group in our society. For hundreds of years there has been the notion that knowledge exists to unite us all. Well - it may unite the minds of some - but it doesn't do much to enlighten the minds of Conservatives. If you think that a Republican with a college degree would be less likely to deny proven scientific concepts like global warming...then everything you know is wrong...Joining me now is Chris Mooney - Science & Political Journalist and Author of 3 books including his newest out in April...The Republican Brain: The Science of Why They Deny Science and Reality.

Hunter Link, hunger striker, joins Thom Hartmann. University of Virginia students are the latest soldiers in the fight for workers' rights. How have they chosen to fight for change - and will they succeed in reaching their goals? Making sure working people earn a living wage isn't just the morally right thing to do in the wealthiest nation on the planet - it makes good economic sense too. The more money working people have - the more they spend - thus stimulating our economy and creating more demand and thus more jobs. Working people are the REAL job creators! People shouldn't have to be starving themselves to raise awareness of this issue - it's economics 101

Sarah Jaffe, AlterNet joins Thom Hartmann. Conservatives like Rick Santorum and Marco Rubio will tell you America is becoming a nation of Conservatives. Is this really the case - or are they sorely mistaken?
