This episode features clips the excellent NY Times Magazine column The Ethicist with Randy Cohen (subscribe). I selected the first one because I too telecommute and have pondered the question, tho not ever gone that route. I just liked the second clip, but have no horse in that race, so to speak.

This episode features a brief clip of Patton Oswalt's "At Midnight I will Kill George Lucas with a Shovel" from his album Werewolves and Lollipops (iTunes) where he talks about wanting to prevent the creation of the Star Wars prequels, which seems appropriate given the recent release of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Which despite having a lot of problems with, I still managed to like a little.

This episode features clips from NPR's Fresh Air with Terry Gross (subscribe) where NY Times national legal correspondent Adam Liptak is interviewed about various subjects including US prisons, punitive damages, and other interesting issues.

This episode features clips from HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher (subscribe). Topics include Earth Day/Global Warming and Obama vs. Racist Redneck Christians (don't we just call those Republicans?).

Clips from the March 13th, 2008 episode of NPR's Fresh Air with Terry Gross (subscribe) featuring Dan Kennedy talking about life in a corporate record label's marketing department, and Eliot Van Buskirk discussing music's digital future. As well as a clip about Bush's tax cuts at work from March 14's The Rachel Maddow Show.
