Description
It's not easy keeping up with the news—especially when you're a parent. Mary Katharine Ham and Vic Matus know that well. And while they can't get your kids to school on time (and without ketchup in their hair—ask Mary Katharine about that one), they can break down the news you need to know. Put the kids to bed, pour yourself a drink, and join us twice a week for Getting Hammered.

Mary Catherine, I have to marvel at the imagery you created and describing how you think of things that leave or escape your immediate attention very cool indeed lady Steve

this is for both Mary Catherine and Vic but more so for Vic. Datsun was changed from Nissan because of the post world war animous, towards anything that sounded was Japanese; So they change the name from Nissan to Datsun and then in the last 30 years or so they changed it back from Datsun to Nissan
