From pharmacies to teacher lawsuits to anti-judge propaganda, they want their fingers in everything. Plus: a discussion about arguing as a cross-dresser.   
  March 26 2005 Sorry, folks, that it took me two weeks to get this episode up on the site! I've had some major problems with my recording program losing audio for long periods of time. It's okay though, I have a new program which definitely works better, so this shouldn't happen again. Thanks again, listener Walter Groninger, who records every episode and bails me out when I miss one.

Jeff was not available for this episode, so our old co-host (and host of our new "studio") stepped up to fill i? for us. Thanks, Mary!
