The Year Was 2010–Republicans took back the majority in the U.S. House, thanks to the new Tea Party movement…Miners were miraculously rescued in Chile…movies premiering included “The King’s Speech,” “Burlesque” and “Robin Hood”…new television shows included “Parenthood,” “Hot in Cleveland” and “Swamp People”…and among the popular songs of the year were “Party in the USA” and “Pretty Good at Drinking Beer”.
