Cairo erupted in violence this week as protests continued into their 11th day.

John Kerry, who stepped out in front of the White House this week in calling for Mubarak to "step aside gracefully."

Also this week: Rep. Barney Frank announced his reelection bid for 2012, just four months after winning his last campaign. And snow threatens roofs and everyone's patience. We dive into the week's news.

Guests:
