Season 2, Episode 17 - Maya Angelou, crash test dummies, officers arresting a man for piercing his sons ears, charges against two teens for killing a 6 month old, 9 year old reprimand school board.

In this week's episode, our quote of the week is from poet Maya Angelou.  We have two contenders in our "The stupidest thing I've heard all week " segment. The first is a US Congresswoman who wants the Department of Transportation to spend $40 million to create and use female crash test dummies in their vehicle crash tests, and the other is a story about five police officers being sent to a man's home to arrest him for piercing his son's ears. You decide the winner.  We'll tell you what charges were filed against two teenagers who stole a car in Chicago and then crashed it into another vehicle killing a 6-month-old baby in the backseat.   In a related story, we'll ask you how much jail time you think you would have gotten if you committed 37 felonies in 17 months. If your answer includes the words "Years," "Months," or "Weeks," you guessed way too long!  We'll play a 2-minute clip of a 9-year-old girl speaking at a local school board meeting, ripping the school board members for their hypocrisy when they violated their rules about posting political content on school bulletin boards.   I'll read you a short essay I composed on the impact of Electric Vehicles on fossil fuel power plants that was read on air on a nationally syndicated radio show this past weekend.  Our Taxpayer relief shot comes to us from Austin, Texas, where a thug's prophetic last words were, "I'm not afraid of that pistol."
