Lots to talk about in today's Political Junkie segment on NPR's Talk of the Nation::

-- It will be Sen. Roland Burris after all.

-- Easy confirmation seen for Hillary Clinton. But new questions arise for Treasury hopeful Timothy Geithner.

-- Retirements of Sens. Voinovich and Bond increase GOP exodus to four.

Remember, the Political Junkie segment airs every Wednesday at 2 p.m. Eastern time on Talk of the Nation, NPR's call-in program, where you can often, but not always, find interesting conversation, useless trivia questions and sparkling jokes.

And remember, if your local NPR station doesn't carry TOTN, you can hear the program on the Web or on HD Radio. And if you are a subscriber to XM/Sirius radio, you can find the show there as well (siriusly).

You can listen to last week's show -- Rep. Danny Davis of Illinois was the special guest -- here.
