William Rivers Pitt | Obama, Boehner and the American Theater
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/14523-obama-boehner-and-the-american-theater
William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: The president offered a number of very fine proposals last night, and did so in a manner that was rousing without being overbearing. But, in the end, it is Washington DC's big see-and-be-seen night; it is theater, and that is all.

Good News: Obama Recommits to Clean Energy. Terrible News: Obama Recommits to Dirty Energy
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/14537-good-news-obama-recommits-to-clean-energy-terrible-news-obama-recommits-to-dirty-energy
Robert Pollin, Back to Full Employment: It is great that Obama is now recommitting his administration to move us back onto a green economy agenda, but he also came out strongly in support of expanding the production and consumption of natural gas and oil.

Marco Rubio and the Republican Ibogaine Problem
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/14541-marco-rubio-and-the-republican-ibogaine-problem
Thom Hartmann, The Daily Take: Don't worry, Republicans. All those crazy things - people riding dinosaurs cause the world is only 6000 years old, global warming being a hoax, John Boehner looking like a giant carrot wearing a suit - are just the result of your ibogaine use.

In today's On the News segment: Yesterday, the Senate finally reauthorized protections for victims of domestic abuse in the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA); the Republican response to the State of the Union made it clear that the GOP's only policy proposal is austerity; a new poll appears to indicate that more Republicans oppose an idea if they know that the president supports it; and more.
