We talk to Takeaway Washington correspondent Todd Zwillich about some political fireworks and posturing in yesterday's senate hearing on Capitol Hill, plus this morning's top headlines.

BP's Deepwater Horizon oil rig disaster hits the two month mark this weekend. Since April 20, oil has been gushing into the Gulf, wreaking havoc on the thousands who make a living from those waters. Natural disasters, like Hurricane Katrina, leave residents devastated but able to begin repair once the crisis passes. The current nightmare has lasted two months, and the oil already in the Gulf will cause longterm environmental damage even once the well is capped. What kind of toll do these unknowns take on people's mental health?

In response to studies that have shown people inaccurately believe light cigarettes are "healthier" for them, Congress included a new rule in a tobacco bill last year banning cigarette makers from using misleading terms like "light," "mild," or "low" from their marketing. However, as that rule is set to go into effect, tobacco companies are finding all sorts of creative ways around the rule. 

The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Boston Celtics 83-79 in a nail-biter final at the Los Angeles Staples Center last night. 

Detroit got a dose of good news, yesterday. For the first time in the 24 year history of the JD Power and Associates Initial Quality Study American car makers beat out imports. Porsche still topped the list, but Ford was in the top five up there, along with luxury brands. That is the only time a mainstream American brand has been in that group. 

The devastating oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has led us to consider the effects of oil contamination in other parts of the world. Nigeria's oil-rich Niger Delta is considered to be the world capital of oil pollution. But it's a violent place – armed gangs attack people who work for the oil industry, kidnapping workers and blowing up pipelines – and the area is under the control of the Nigerian military.

Last month, prior to Mother’s Day, we did a special movie segment focusing on our favorite movie moms, and the conversation was one of our liveliest. Rafer Guzman of Newsday and Emily Rems of Bust Magazine told us why they loved everyone from Mia Farrow in “Rosemary’s Baby” to Faye Dunaway in “Mommy Dearest,” and many of you wrote in with your own picks. 

With Father's Day coming up on Sunday, we thought it was worth giving all the on-screen dads out there the same honor. Rafer and Emily return with their favorite dads, which range from the heartbreaking (Roberto Benigni in "Life is Beautiful") to horrific (Jack Nicholson in "The Shining")

The United Nations now estimates that as many as one million people may need aid as a result of ethnic violence in Kyrgyzstan. 400 thousand refugees are believed to have been internally displaced in the south of the country since more than 190 people died in riots a week ago. Over two thousand people are believed to have perished since the violence began. Rayhen Demytrie, of our partner the BBC, reports live from Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.

Having invented Viagra, pharmaceutical companies have tackled the connundrum of satisfying female sexual desire with drugs. That and this morning's top headlines.

Since Viagra hit the market in the 1990s, pharmaceutical companies have been racing to come up with an equivalent drug for women. And one German pharmaceutical company is hoping to win the race. Boehringer Ingelheim, a large German drug company, will go before the  Food and Drug Administration today in hopes of gaining approval for a new pill they believe can increase the female libido. Citing hypoactive sexual desire, the company says their female version of that magic blue pill, can cure women of that disorder.

An FDA staff report on Wednesday argued against approval of the drug, saying it has not sufficiently proven to be successful. And many doctors say drug companies are creating pills for a disorder that does not exist.

Its time for the U.S. soccer team to take the field again. Riding high off their (lucky, by all accounts) tie with England last week, they now enter their match against Slovenia as favorites and a real shot to make it to the Round of 16. 

So the excitement is high for soccer fans around the country. Our own Femi Oke reports live with some die hard boosters as they prepare for today's morning match at Nevada Smith's bar in New York City. Jack Keane, director of football for the bar, has World Cup-proofed the place for the masses expected for the 10:00 a.m. match. 

On yesterday's show, we discussed a new report which finds that, by 2018, 63 percent of the jobs in the Unites States will require a post-high school education. The problem is, at the current rate of college and high school graduations, there will not be enough workers with higher educations to fill these jobs.  We wanted to know if you think colleges are properly preparing its students to enter today's workforce.

Tony Hayward, the much-criticized CEO of BP, faced angry lawmakers on Capital Hill yesterday for the first time since the Deepwater Horizon explosion. Hayward stuck closely to his prepared statements, ducking many of the questions posed to him, but in the course of the questioning, we did learn some important things about the oil spill and the political fallout it's causing.

Takeaway Washington correspondent, Todd Zwillich, attended the hearings and shares his impressions.

More light will be shed today on Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan's legal history. The William J. Clinton Presidential Library is set to release 11,000 emails written by Kagan during her tenure as a domestic policy aide and White House counsel in the Clinton Administration. The emails come on top of another 160,000 pages of previously released documents, far more information than the Senate Judiciary panel has received from other recent nominees. 

We'll be talking periodically about music this summer, and kick off the series by examining what makes a classic summer song work. MTV's Sway dissects what makes a summer hit and talks about some of the tunes that make him the most nostalgic. Listen to Sway's summer classics playlist, after the jump.
