Every time you think the political news might start to ease up, there's a week like this. Perfect for the Political Junkie segment on NPR's Talk of the Nation.

The Minnesota Supreme Court rules against Norm Coleman, who concedes his Senate contest to Al Franken.

Mark Sanford gives TMI to AP.

And speaking of tell-alls, a former aide to John Edwards inks a book deal.

Plus: gays and the Obama administration. Promises were made, and some gay leaders say the president has yet to deliver.

Join host Neal Conan and me every Wednesday at 2 p.m. ET for the Junkie segment on TOTN, where you can often, but not always, find interesting conversation, useless trivia questions and sparkling jokes. And you can win a Political Junkie T-shirt!

Last week's segment -- which was interrupted by the Sanford shocker -- can be heard here.

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).
