Mark Barroso is an official pain-in-the-ass (that hyphenation was copy edited because of Mark’s insistence on AP style writing even when he’s talking about his pussycat taking a dump). The Citizen talks with Mr. Barroso on this episode of “I Am Citizen Abels," entitled "I Plead The First," about the two P’s – pussy(cats) and politics – even though the politics parts wind up about police misconduct (not that they’re aren’t bad members of the men in blue). The Citizen definitely crosses Mr. Barroso’s thin blue line and discusses his high jinks in Tampa, Florida when Mark was an investigative reporter with the ABC News affiliate, as well as topics like Cuban cigars, food, and male parts. Join the insanity and laugh your (pain-in-the-)ass off. Mr. Barroso was recorded in-studio on April 24, 2016.
