"Remember, the President likes his twinkies arranged around the plate like a spongecake Stonehenge"
It's amazing how easy it is to get sucked back into something. My current vortex: Podcasts on iTunes. I started last week and haven't been able to stop. Neither has Jim.
Last week we found Crista Flanagan (of MADtv fame) has a podcast called Hope is Emo. She does miserable really well, and at times you see a lot of Wendy Walker in Hope. The misery gets to be a bit much, so do it in smaller doses.
I'm also catching up on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me. If you've never listened, you must. It is a non-participatory game show, where four people play silly word games. I just listened to the February 11th episode and Paula Poundstone is charming (as is the rest of the cast). All droll, witty and funny as hell while reviewing current events. Please, please check this out. You'll love it. Found here.
UPDATE: One more. SF Chronicle corrections podcast. Here. For the love of all that is holy. Now. NOW. Episode about the Oakland homicides.

Wait Wait Don't Tell Me is wonderful. But Paula gets on my nerves after a little while. So does that fake cowboy guy.
In addition to podcasts, listen to the archives - - Radio Lab and This American Life are especially good, and Marketplace's China series is mind blowing. Some of the better mid-90s/early-00s radio can only be had by digging into the archives of sites. It's worth it.
