This week on Politically Indirect:

• The midterm elections head into the home stretch. Are Democrats screwed? Is Christine O'Donnell a witch? Is Russ Feingold a hottie? How long does it take for Sarah Palin to write a facebook post? We ask the tough questions...

• The Afghanistan war enters its tenth year. Is there light at the end of the tunnel? Will the peace talks accomplish anything? 

• Facebook is adding new features and taking center stage in the pop culture zeitgeist. Is Mark Zuckerberg a genius?

And of course, short ends! NiqaBitches in France combine burqas and hot pants (finally!), Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout will soon get his day in court in the U.S., and Maureen Tucker, the drummer for the Velvet Underground, is a Tea Partier- could anything be more tragic?
