On the Show:

–Dave Zirin, bestselling author and sports editor for The Nation magazine joins us to discuss Not Just a Game, the documentary film from the Media Education Foundation about the connection that exists between sports and politics, no matter what we are told about sports being non-political.

–Debunking the bogus Bar Stool Economics analogy of our tax system that has been spreading across the internet with the help of conservatives, including Sarah Palin.

–Winners of the “guess the state” David Pakman Show Membership contest, with a bunch of free memberships given away.

–North Korean malnutrition is leading to a separation of the Korean race, height disparities, and malnutrition affecting the intelligence of North Koreans.

— Kentucky is building a replica of Noah’s Ark using government money, and we talk about why it should not be built, how you can build a replica of the Ark with the guidelines in the Bible, and whether there will be dinosaurs on the replica Ark.

–The Congressional Tea Party Caucus made a big deal out of campaigning on reducing spending and eliminating earmarks, but was responsible for over one billion dollars in the 111th Congress, while Republicans historically spend more than Democrats.

–Wondering where the Tea Party was during the deficit explosion under George W. Bush.

–Poll results on the next show for our question about whether the latest Wikileaks release is good or bad overall.

–On the Bonus Show: Louis tells another bartending story, is there a valid comparison between Glenn Beck and L. Ron Hubbard, a $110 billion problem with new $100 bills, and much more.
