Below is a look back at some of the things that happened in 2010 (in somewhat chronological order). What did we miss? And take our live poll at right on what you think was the most significant moment of 2010. Check out our next post of "Shiny Metal Objects of the year."
- Scott Brown elected
- Guantanamo remains open
- Baby killer shouted during health care debate
- Health care reform passed, signed
- Financial regulation passed, signed
- BP oil spill
- Greece riots
- Afghanistan casualties rise
- Bob Bennett loses
- Sestak beats Specter, loses to Toomey
- Blanche Lincoln wins, then loses
- Elena Kagan sworn in
- Iraq drawdown
- Glenn Beck rally/Jon Stewart/Colbert rally
- Tea Party outrage/Republicans take back the House; Boehner to be speaker
- Harry Reid wins
- Charlie Rangel censured
- Rahm Emanuel leaves White House to run for Chicago mayor
- Wiki, wiki, wiki-leaks of diplomatic cables
- Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell repealed
- Joe Miller wins primary, then loses
- Lisa Murkowski, loses primary, then wins first write-in campaign for Senate since 1954


Health care overhaul signed into law and Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell repealed are equivalent.
Joe Miller wins primary, then loses.
That's great Tea Baggers are losers and still crazy after all these years. look for more losses in their House.
"...still crazy after all these years." What you talkin' bout, Bev.?
So, how many years do you think the Tea Party has been around? You have to distinguish the tea party from your acts of being tea-bagged, which I presume have been going on for many, many years.
You really have to stop watching so much Fox. It's affecting your ability to discern reality.
Beverly: and Spanky's response to you is an example of the lack of discernment of the "teabaggers". I keep feeling sorry for them.
Spanky-

For all of you " Tea Baggers' with your "Alice in Wonderland" allusions' I'd say at least 3 years.

Happy New Year
What I learned this year: your average voter isn't nearly as partisan as the pundits make them out to be. For instance, Maine returned both Democratic incumbants back to the House, by wide margins, yet turned the State legislature over to the Republicans and elected a Tea Party supported candidate governor (with a mere 38% of the vote.)
Basically, I think it's pretty accurate to say voters swing either left or right in order to "punish" the party in power, when the economy is bad, unless the opposition candidate is so unqualified sticking with an incumbent seems more palatable. Scott Brown clearly ran as an "Independent," not a Tea Partier, in Mass. and so he won, but that doesn't mean the Democratic Party is all washed up in the blue states.
Hey! Can I get paid for posting this analysis? I'm sure I'm a better pundit than that Peggy Noonan!
Shovel ready project? Obama admits - there's no such thing as shovel-ready projects!
Now if he will just admit that a "shovel Ready" construction job is not a job created. It is nothing more than a Temporary position.
How about that one university study that shows Fox viewers are easier to snooker than most folks? That'd be a good choice for this list.
The fact that a non natural born citizen owned media giant (fox news) is out to devide america, to create a conttry that is not indivisable, bur divided between red and blue and a media giant that is trying to destry a president that is trying to great a UNITED america.
Yep, I think nadeem wins on this one.

Good for you Nadeem
I think Ole Murhdoch should have his citizenship revoked. I think, also, this fiend should be Deported.

I think at the very least, he should be made to watch his own network, and have lunch once a week with Palin, O'Reily and Hannity. And I mean, have to listen to 'em, not just sit there and toss down martinis.

You mean you want ole Murdoch to puke? That screeching Palin voice makes people sick. Slant head Hannity would be giving the ole hand jive while snatching up all the bread rolls.
Well I guess this year is over.
