The Dems lose their supermajority after Martha Coakley forgets to campaign, the conspiracy theorists come up with their Haiti story, campaign finance law gets shaved down by several decades, Joe discovers screwdrivers, and the show discovers brevity.

Haiti suffers the worst disaster in recent memory, some worthless people say awful things about it on TV, Sarah Palin gets a job, Blago accidentally reveals to the world that he thinks being black equals shining shoes, David Drake returns to the podcast, and we discuss the political overtones of Avatar in our first-ever (and last-ever) movie review segment.

Obama thinks about targeted sanctions for Iran, the TSA makes more arguments for their own dismantlement, Rahm disses Israel, Mr. 9/11 forgets about 9/11, Michael Steele says "get a life", Blago finally gets his big TV shot, and the GOP laments the subtle political messages of Avatar.

Like most of the rest of the objective world, Rahm Emanuel is tired of the behavior of both the Palestinians and the Israelis.

Instead of putting undeserved pressure on one side or the other when the Israelis are clearly not honoring their prior commitments and the Palestinians are a mess with the West Bank/Gaza split, it's better to just wait until the climate improves. Why pretend like there is anything we can do if there isn't?

The TSA freaks out over the crotch bomb, Yemen makes Lieberman wet his nappy, Berlusconi sings of love, and North Korea wishes for world peace.

World leaders gather in Copenhagen to decide not to decide anything, Berlusconi gets his face smashed with a statuette and blames Facebook, Lieberman is still a jackass, the Holocaust and pandas are mentioned, and we run through our picks for best/worst stuff of the decade.
