From the Washington Post in an article about the court challenges to the health care bill:
And as a final note, let me propose a new rule: No conservative who supports these legal challenges can complain about activist judges ever again.

"Men like Madison and Jefferson were moved by the ideals of Christianity, and wanted the United States to reflect those values as a Christian nation," continued Mortensen, referring to the "Father of the Constitution," James Madison, considered by many historians to be an atheist, and Thomas Jefferson, an Enlightenment-era thinker who rejected the divinity of Christ and was in France at the time the document was written.

More recent. If by more recent I mean, probably only 37 years old instead of 50. Lynne & Candy.
NPR's All Songs Considered puts out some great music. I highly recommend their podcast:
I've 'quoted' from them before, from their Tiny Desk concerts. But they also put up complete concerts.
I promise not to waste your time.
