On the Show:

–Ana Kasparian, co-host of The Young Turks, joins us to talk about conservatives having bigger fear centers in their brains, what happens during commercial breaks at The Young Turks, and much more.

–The world is abuzz over Louis hosting the last Bonus Show of 2010.

–What should progressives be doing in 2011? If you don’t like Obama, remember the previous guy, and what Republicans have said NO to since Obama took office.

–The latest Obama conspiracy theory is that he is a Native American, and that he wants to give the country back to Native Americans, which creates a direct conflict with the birthers. Also, the common bond in the theories is Obama’s skin color.

–Tucker Carlson wanted Michael Vick executed for killing dogs, prefacing his comments by saying he is a Christian. We list the things conservatives have called for the death penalty over, and wonder if Sarah Palin shooting a caribou on her show should she cause of execution as well.

–The Consistent Life Ethic is not middle of the road, does not even save lives, and simply makes no sense. We talk about abortion, the death penalty, euthanasia, and a less discussed politic of life, sending troops to war.

–Discussions about which wars to get into are necessary, but will not stop the economy or culture of wars that has existed in the US since the Vietnam War.

–Should the drinking age be lowered to 18? If people can join the army and vote, shouldn’t they be able to drink?

–Voicemails and emails from the audience about David looking like a character from Glee, top whatever lists from 2010, our interview with Alan Nathan, and more.

–On the Bonus Show: Another telemarketer prank call to the studio, healthcare reform repeal attempts, anti-smoking laws, much more.
