Who's Carl?
Carl channels three quotes from the week's news:
Dubya gets a bit snide; the Times Mirror Company puts up
a brave front; pig-a-plicity.
Round 2
The Listener Limerick Challenge!
A listener completes newsy limericks, as read by Carl:
Corned beef on Friday? Fear not, says the Pope. Meanwhile,
goats in Spain are now breathing easier, and spicy
condiments
make their mark on politics.
Not My Job
David Brancaccio, host of PRI's
Marketplace,
considers archaological news in "You're the Relic Hunter."
Week in Review
PETA and MADD go head to head,
the size of cabbies'
brains, and the Iditarod.
Round 3
Who's Carl II
Three more bon mots from the week's
news:
Pat Buchanan shows he can rough it; Putin admits his past;
the affluent
complain
we don't know how tough they have it.
Bluff the Listener
Improving health care--creatively.

The rest of the week's
news that we can
fit.
