On the Show:

–At the Super Bowl Christina Aquilera messes up the national anthem, proving that it wasn’t prerecorded, the Black Eyed Peas do a terrible halftime performance, and a horribly offensive ad about Tibet for GroupOn was initially confusing to David.

–David Silverman, President of American Atheists, discusses Bill O’Reilly playing an on-air character very different from the real Bill O’Reilly, debates with David Pakman about whether he is actually atheist, and much more.

–Ronald Reagan has become the barometer for conservatives, even though his tax raising, deficit exploding, anti-war, pro-choice and other actions go against those claims.

–George W. Bush cancels a trip to Switzerland, and even though organizers claim it is due to security reasons, evidence suggests it is because Switzerland might attempt to arrest him.

–Dave Zirin, sports editor for The Nation, joins us to discuss militarism, corporatism, and sexism at the Super Bowl, then talking about the offensive GroupOn ads about Tibet and the Amazon rainforest.

–John Boehner got a chance to increase transparency through CSPAN, but said no, and we can’t blame him not wanting to be seen on TV handing out tobacco checks to fellow members of Congress.

–House Republicans no longer want to redefine rape, but a Georgia lawmaker wants to change the term victim to accuser until a conviction has take place, a patently absurd idea, and we explain why.

–Emails about the woman who brutally killed her dog because it chewed her Bible, Michele Obama running for President in 2012, Mexican drug cartels buying guns in Arizona, the NRA and more.

–On the Bonus Show Gabrielle Giffords gets brain injury treatment that troops deserve, Brazil looks to add happiness to its constitution, AOL buys the Huffington Post, Black Eyed Peas political statements, more.

    David,
    Wow, just heard your interview of Glenn Miller from last year. I’m from Missouri and I must say, I was quite embarrassed to learn this man shares my state.

    You are very eloquent and respectful, even when someone is completely undeserving of it.

    Thank you,
    Jeff Peak

    I am 100% sure of the existence of God I should respect your 100% belief of an absence of a creator or divine will. The truth is the truth whether we believe it or not. Our beliefs have no bearing on the truth.

    David,

    “Wanting a world free of nuclear weapons” you mentioned from Reagan’s memoirs.

    I may be a bit older than you, but I remember Reagan crediting the freezeniks with the impetus of the nuclear freeze. Someone made the idea of the nuclear freeze safe for American politicians in the mid-eighties, and it wasn’t the intelligence community which didn’t see the Warsaw Pact on its last legs, and it wasn’t the military industrial complex who bought into the Star Wars fantasies. Reagan’s speech was our proof.

    PS You know who else is community owned? The Saksatchewan Roughriders! Do we want Americans playing football with 12 men crossing the 55 yard line on the way to scoring rouges or being penalized for objectionable conduct? Hell, no!
