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

-- Kirsten Gillibrand gets a new job in New York. Will David Paterson soon be looking for one as well?

-- Rod Blagojevich continues his Magical Mystery Tour.

-- Tim Geithner is in at Treasury; Eric Holder on his way.

-- Republicans, courted by Obama, look to elect a new national party chairman.

This week's special guest: Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI), who will talk about his proposed constitutional amendment to take the power of appointing senators away from governors and instead have it decided by special elections.

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 -- with special guest Jonathan Turley on the inaugural oath gaffe -- here.
