On the Show:

–Alan Nathan, Host of Battle Line with Alan Nathan, joins us to discuss Wikileaks, Julian Assange, treatment of Private Bradley Manning, and much more.

–The War on Christmas fails, or survives, or whatever you call it, it still happened, and yet another massive snowstorm prediction leaves a dusting on David’s car.

–Some want Sarah Palin to be the next Chair of the Republican National Committee, and we agree it would be fantastic. Also, Sarah Palin gets another chance to answer the gotcha question of what she reads, and the new answer is even more funny than the original.

–More hilarious and horrific TSA stories involving enhanced patdowns of people’s stimulus packages, and Louis gets angry about people making a big deal about patdowns.

–Looking at the estate tax, and common misdirections and misstatements, including the idea of double taxation, as well as Congressman Anthony Wiener in a hilarious exchange with Megyn Kelly on the subject.

–John McCain is determined to go down in history as an old man yelling the political equivalent of “get off my lawn,” and we try to figure out whether it is related to anger over losing the 2008 election.

–Fox News mislabels Elie Wiesel as a “Holocaust Winner” on screen, and we look at a long history of convenient mislabelings and wonder what is going on.

–Hawaii’s new Governor Neil Abercrombie says he was there when Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, but will facts even matter to birthers, and do some consider those actually born in Hawaii to be less American?

–New poll on our website asks whether anti-gay groups will launch lawsuits to bring back Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.

–Audience voicemails and emails about Wikileaks, Julian Assange, Michael Moore, Louis’ weight and appearance, the 9-11 first responders bill, and much more.

–On the Bonus Show: Ten possible tech disasters, whether we should care about Obama smoking, wondering where the Tea Party went, more.
