John and Ana hosting.  Bill Nye debated Ken Ham last night about creationism vs evolution.  A reporter had some creationism believers from the audience write up a sentence or two of what they want to say to believers in evolution. More pictures of creationists holding up posters with their short messages to evolutionists.  Video of Pat Robertson talking about how Ken Ham is presenting their argument in a stupid manner by claiming that the Earth is only 6000 years old.  The CBO’s report on the costs associated with ObamaCare has Republicans falling all over themselves to paint the picture that its a disaster.  The blatantly misread and spun the portion about how it will cost 2.5 million jobs by 2024.  Video of Paul Ryan and the CBO Director clarifying that it will not actually cost 2.5 million jobs.  John reads several instances of Republicans claiming to want citizens to be free of their employers and their healthcare choices.  The CBO also had bad news for the GOP’s assertion that the risk corridor provision is a bailout that needs to be repealed.  If it’s taken out, it will cost us $8 billion on the deficit.  After Sen Hatch praised the CBO on the false employment information they spun, he bashed the same CBO for their claims on the risk corridor provision. More fallout from O’Reilly’s Super Bowl interview with President Obama.  WaPo’s Dana Milbank wrote an article outlining his assertion that Bill’s interview was hostile.  Audio of O’Reilly responding angrily to Milbank’s article on Hugh Hewitt’s show.  Gun lobbyist Larry Pratt spoke with Selwyn Duke about how Africans from Africa are happy people that need to teach surly African Americans how to live life.  Republican lawmakers are proposing to eliminate the tax on Olympic athletes that receive money for winning a gold, silver, or bronze medal.
