NO ID Episode 18 - Cutlass Supreme Leader
Executive Producer:
Sir Spook of Spokane
Iran gets a regime change, and everyone immediately starts shopping for a replacement Supreme Leader. We examine the media's reverence for authoritarian titles, Idaho Republicans' plan to Bible-bomb public schoolchildren, and the increasingly religious devotion to the State. Meanwhile, Kootenai County's commissioners wage bureaucratic warfare over software and appreciation dinners, the Spokane Indians commit the unforgivable sin of canceling Pride Night, and Matt Gaetz's appearance in Coeur d'Alene sends the usual suspects into hysterics. Plus, a multimillion-dollar defamation fight, Coeur d'Alene's police chief search, and Idaho legislators bravely proposing to trim a budget they've spent years inflating. The gubmint giveth, the gubmint taketh away, and the taxpayers are, as ever, left holding the bag.
