Since Thom is talking about Hitler and his eugenics program and persecution policies. I just want to point out, it wasn't just Hitler that came up with this stuff in Germany. Not saying that he doesn't deserve his fair share of blame, but lets not forget Himmler who pursued some of his own theories. Not to mention some of the medical experiments performed by several different people who were allowed access to perform whatever experiment they wanted.
Just sometimes feels like when the name Hitler is invoked (or Stalin for that matter) there is an implication that he willed all these terrible deeds despite opposition. Fact of the matter is, like any politician he saw the parade coming down the street and jumped in front of it. Though admittedly he was looking for that parade for quite some time.

I have to listen to Thom late because Phoenix now plays the show later. I just heard Thom give a brilliant, succinct analysis of what's been happening since Bush wrecked the economy and the Republican plot to blame it on Obama to take back everything this year. He should write this down.

Mueller's favorite place to pray (written about in "Prophet's Way"), and the roof of the room where the Last Supper is reputed to have happened.
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann’s work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else. This collection is a rousing call for Americans to work together and put people first again."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."

Tornado Risk
The utility known as Tepco hasn’t decided to install any additional safety measures against tornadoes, Junichi Matsumoto, a general manager at the utility, told reporters May 7. “It may be necessary to investigate the possibility of tornadoes in Fukushima, but we don’t plan to take any action at the moment,” Matsumoto said.
