West Wing episode tonight - For your viewing "Pleasure"

Radsafe:
For those of  you who might be asked questions [or be interested in] about the nuclear fuel shipping accident featured on tonight's West Wing, see the links below.

Another bit of media for you viewing "pleasure". In the teaser video clips after last week's West Wing episode for this upcoming episode, I believe I heard the West Wing Press secretatry blurting out there had just been an an accident with some "depleted uranium" fuel rods.

This episode should help to answer the question:

Q: Why do they call TV a communciations medium?
A: Because it is neither rare nor well done?
