President Obama's latest weekly radio address, a recap of the most super of bowls, the year of the underdog continues...from 2008, the Tea Party seen through rose-colored glasses, our interview with Graham Perry, curator of the We Shall Not Be Moved: The 50th Anniversary of Tennessee's Civil Rights Sit-ins at the Tennessee State Museum, and the work continues for affordable health care for all.

Guess what? Jobs bills are important for the states! A couple of callers try and scold us for using the term "tea bagger" to describe the racist funny-hat-wearing xenophobes personified by Tom Tancredo at this past weekend's Tea Party Convention, and Karl Frisch, Senior Fellow for media watchdog organization, Media Matters for America brings it to the lapdog mainstream media...and Sarah Palin too.

Tea party fallout, James O'Keefe, tax-cuts, and sit-ins. Plus guests Mark Reutter for the Progressive Policy Institute, Emily Ogden of Stand for Children, and Karl Frisch of of Media Matters for America.

President Obama's latest weekly radio address, current news, and the to do list (including details of our 2010 State of the Union Watch Party). Plus, WRVU loses 15-year veteran Doyle Davis when he decides he can no longer "bring da funk," Air America has gone dark (but not for the reasons you think), our callers think that liberals in Tennessee should just come out already, and Liberadio(!) senior Massachusetts News Correspondent, Julie Bruno, reports from the ground - just what happened to the Coakley campaign and who is this Scott Brown dude?

This hour we're joined by Robert Weissman, President of Public Citizen, who gives us the 4-1-1 on the latest Supreme Court decision to affect campaign financing, as well as Karl Frisch, Senior Fellow for media watchdog organization, Media Matters for America. Plus, the Top 10 Progressive Victories of the Obama administration (a.k.a. he brought the change and we can believe in it), Tennessee is - in reality - a nice shade of purpley blue, and public transit fans, rejoice! - the Obama administration announced this week that it is loosening the criteria for using federal funds to finance light rail, bus routes, and other public transit projects.
