Here's a quick peek at today:
Last week, a Muslim woman living in upstate New York was beheaded by her husband. The facts behind the case suggest the violent act follows a history of domestic abuse. That is a topic few talk about. And the problem is not limited to any one community. In our frist hour, we want to hear from you and from our guests about how to talk about domestic violence. Then, Ron Elving, NPR's senior Washington editor, will look ahead to President Obama's first address to Congress scheduled for this evening. The economy is expected to dominate the speech, but the President also says he will lay-out a broader agenda of what he hopes to accomplish in the next year. So you be his speechwriter. What do you think he should talk about tonight? At the end of the hour, we'll go to Mardi Gras. In New Orleans, the Zulu Krewe will take to the streets along with many other clubs for a final lavish parade. We'll celebrate the Zulu Krewe's 100th birthday.
In our second hour today, we'll talk to author David Grann, about his new book, The Lost City of Z, our human passion to explore, and hear the story of one explorer's obsession with finding a magical city deep inside the Amazon rain forest. Then, Larry Wilmore, who you probably know as the "Senior Black Correspondent" on The Daily Show, will talk about his new book, a series of politically incorrect vignettes about black people, called I'd Rather We Got Casinos: And Other Black Thoughts. Then, your letters - including your thoughts about the controversial New York Post cartoon published last week and your six word Valentine's Day memoirs.
