LOOK OUT! LIONEL IS BACK IN THE STUDIO.

It’s the eve of the real primary election season (finally!) with the Iowa Caucuses tomorrow. What the hell are caucuses you ask? We’ll tell you.

Why do the cable news channels make such a big deal about Iowa? We’ll tell you.

Does Iowa really matter? Yeah, but that’s not a good thing, and if you don’t know why? We’ll tell you.

But all this Iowa talk doesn’t mean there’s no Lionel-style fun in store for you. Imagine a week of pent up antics and slices of life to talk about.

If you shoot a tiger with a sling-shot, you deserve to get mauled. That’s just how it works.  

Now that it’s the end of the year and the start of this one, newspapers will have the perennial shots of how to lose weight with the bare feet of some sausage toed ladies with nail polish – victims of toebesity – on a scale.  Hear Lionel’s take on resolutions.

Need a movie recommendation? Lionel has a few reviews for you - including I Am Legend, The Kite Runner, There Will Be Blood and much much more.  

And, why was there no investigation of why Building 7 fell? Some new answers to that question raise even more questions about how it fell.

Let’s talk about confessions. Martin Taklehoff spent 17 years in jail – for a crime he didn’t commit. And he confessed! This happens all the time. Imagine if he got the death penalty.

But there is serious news afoot as well. Besides the Bhutto assassination to talk about (Was she shot, or did she hit her head? You know why it matters right?) there’s also Iraq news. John Edwards is fueling hope for a troop pullout.

And much much more ….
