–David talks about the state of the show, possible expansion, and the new 2011 Holiday iPad giveaway.

–As predicated, Herman Cain “suspends” his campaign, will endorse Newt Gingrich, and we wonder why his wife was at his speech looking so happy, why he blames everybody but himself, and more.

–Was running for President for as long as he did even worth it for him?

–Newt Gingrich is now feeling very confident, insisting he WILL BE the Republican presidential nominee, and we look at new polls where he is surging, but have to ask whether Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich have a better chance of winning the general election, assuming they get that far.

–What will happen with the upcoming Republican debates, including the Donald Trump-moderated debate which several candidates have also turned down invitations to.

–John Hinckley, President Ronald Reagan’s shooter, is trying to get out of jail, and we look at conflicting evidence about how sane he is today.

–Michele Bachmann says gay people can get married, as long as it’s to members of the opposite sex, and the child of a lesbian confronts Bachmann at an event saying “my mom is gay but doesn’t need fixing.”

–New evidence that radiation from cell phones and wifi are making people sick.

–Emails on Louis lying about his age, Rick Perry not knowing the voting age or election date, Louis’ voting habits, and more.
