Paying the Cost To Be the Boss: A Playlist for David Letterman
I have always greatly admired David Letterman, and I consider him to be one of the most enduring and defining wits of our times. And no, I won't stop watching a TV show because consenting adults were having sex -- in fact, that's why I watch HBO. That said, David still might want to consider putting a plastic cover on that Late Show couch.
