A loving tension; a progressive hope:That's what Jefferson and Joe Smith bring to the Portland airwaves via XRAY FM and to the world through the wonders of the Internet.It's pretty simple really. They follow the current news headlines and talk about the things that they find interesting and these days there's PLENTY to talk about. Like most talk show types, both Jefferson and Joe have opinions. Joe is a liberal curmudgeon and Jefferson is a has-been up-and-comer.The numbers don't lie. Between the 2 of them, they've got:1 house, 1 baptism, 1 head of hair and 1 appearance in the March on Washington (yeah, the one with Martin Luther King Jr.)
2 law degrees, 2 separate stints as cattle herders, 2 terms served as rural county district attorneys and 2 heartbreaking political losses
4 marriages and 4 presidential meet-ups
5 years in state legislature
just over 100 years of combined age (skewed mostly in one direction)
a 350 point LSAT combined score
almost 3.5 million views on Ted.com of how to properly use a paper towel
