Pilot #26: We're Lovers, Not Tasers, Bro

Well the early morning hours seemed a little more normal today, though it's still far from routine. Here's what's on tap...

— We'll discuss Hillary and her health care plans (Then and Now) with journalist and author Carl Bernstein, who wrote a book about Hillary. "Stewart, Burbank, and Bernstein" may not sound as pretty as "Woodward and Bernstein," but then again, Woodward doesn't look like Robert Redford.

— We'll get our dose of hard news when we cover the latest on an incident involving security contractor Blackwater USA that left at least 11 Iraqis dead, and we'll cover the Fed's decision on interest rates with NPR's own Adam Davidson. Plus, the mortgage crisis has hit areas of California especially hard, so we'll talk to a realtor from the Stockton area to get a sense of things on the ground there.

— The news is flying fast and furious around OJ Simpson. One guy says OJ was set up, while one of the victims is in critical condition after a heart attack. We'll take it seriously when we speak to a law professor who can tell us whether OJ might actually be getting treated unfairly. Plus we'll chronicle the story of the student who was tasered at a John Kerry speech, and we'll celebrate the 25th anniversary of the emoticon, all on today's edition of the BPP.
