By Barry Lando —In a perilous spiral of assassinations, threats and counterthreats, leaders in Washington, Jerusalem and Tehran keep ratcheting up the tension.

To commemorate MLK Day, Monday’s edition of “Democracy Now!” featured a lengthy tribute to the civil rights icon, including footage of several inspiring moments such as his “Beyond Vietnam” speech, delivered at New York City’s Riverside Church on April 4, 1967, a year before his death, and his last speech, from April 3, 1968.
“Left, Right & Center” lost one of its integral members since the long-running show’s last episode with the death of conservative co-host Tony Blankley on Jan. 7. For this week’s edition, Matt Miller, Robert Scheer, Arianna Huffington and guest panelist Mary Matalin pay their on-air respects.
Given this presidential election season’s lineup of clowns, it would only make sense that another might join their ranks from the venerable political training ground that is Comedy Central. Yes, folks, Stephen Colbert is once again running for our nation’s highest office. God bless Citizens United!
Do we learn anything about Margaret Thatcher from Abi Morgan’s screenplay? And more important, will anyone born after Thatcher’s 11 years in office learn anything about her brand of conservatism and its effects?

Friends tell the Los Angeles Times Itzcoatl “Izzy” Ocampo returned from Iraq a changed man. The Orange County, Calif. Marine is accused of killing four homeless men, each stabbed more than forty times. A fellow Marine, who said she trusted Ocampo with her life, added “He’s a veteran who did not get the help he needed.”
Rupert Murdoch is a surprisingly good tweeter, direct and revealing in his comments, but he is also the head of a media conglomerate, so when he loses his cool and fires off a shot at “[p]iracy leader” Google, it has reverberations beyond the nail salon.
