Mind In Neutral. Foot In Mouth.
Mark brings his usual irreverence to a quick fire review of some of the more absurd news stories of the week so far. From Michigan militia using PT Cruisers as their attack vehicle of choice, to ICE Cube being accused of selling out black people! Alas none of our political leaders, nationally or locally, come out smelling of roses! Heidi Harmon & Donald Trump especially, and you don't often see those two names in the same sentence! On this occasion boy (girl, ze, xe, ae - take your pick) does Heidi earn it for a classic case of opening mouth before engaging brain!
