The Political Junkie segment on NPR's Talk of the Nation starts off the New Year with a bang. Or, at least, with some questions:

-- What to do with Roland Burris?

-- On what side of the bed did Dianne Feinstein get up from this morning?

-- What changed Jeb Bush's mind about seeking the Senate seat?

-- Will the American public have the patients for Sanjay Gupta?

-- Will President-elect Obama fill in the blanks at his morning news conference?

The good news: I will not be reading any poems on today's program.

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 the Dec. 24 show, our year in review, here.)
