The latest Mediscare ad shows Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) pushing an old woman in a wheelchair off a cliff. The Republicans are allegedly killing "Medicare as we know it." But this is a diversion from the real question: What will "healthcare reform" or ObamaCare do to Granny? Democrats may hope to keep Americans from figuring that out until after the 2012 election.

Every ten years - the House of Representatives get reshuffled. Based on census data - states may gain or lose Congressional seats depending on how many people enter or leave certain states. This ensures that the House reflects the changing population in America. As a result of last year's census - the state of Ohio is slated to lose two Congressional seats in next year's election. And since Republicans control the state legislature in Ohio - they're picking off the progressive districts - most notably the 10th district of Ohio - a district faithfully represented by Dennis Kucinich for more than 14 years. Now Kucinich - a leading voice among progressives - has to look for a new district to represent just to stay in Congress - rumor has it he's been looking around near Seattle in Washington State, which is gaining a congressional seat because that state's population has grown. So while the House is constantly adding or subtracting congresspeople depending on how many people have moved into or out of the various states - guess what the Senate is doing?

Thom talks to Olga Naidenko, Ph.D, Senior scientist of the Environmental Working Group, on the latest discovery of cell phones causing cancer?

The rule of law in America has broken down. And considering that we were founded as a nation of laws - that whole "republic" thing that Republicans like to talk about - this is a troubling development.Right now - there are at least a dozen officials from the Bush administration who committed war crimes - politicized our Justice Department - and leaked the name of a CIA agent for political gain - who have yet to face the American justice system for their crimes.
