Rick Scott is Making Florida Sick, Literally

Listen to this episode: {play}http://traffic.libsyn.com/radioornot/20120710_Nicole_Sandler_Show_-_Rick_Scott_is_Making_Florida_Sick.mp3 {/play} Podcast: Play in new window So, the governor who was elected even though his company had to pay the government a $1.5 Billion fine for Medicare fraud (the largest in US history) is messing with peoples health again. I'm not talking about the fact the Rick "Voldemort" Scott was one of the first to proclaim he'd opt out of the Affordable Care Act's Medicare expansion, or to say that he'd not implement any of the ACA provisions until after the presidential election. This is even worse. Rick Scott, under the auspices of budget cutting, [...]

Malloy from Radio to Or Not

{play}http://traffic.libsyn.com/radioornot/20120516_Nicole_Sandler_Show_-_Malloy.mp3{/play} PODCAST: Play in new window Yes, you read right. Mike Malloy crosses over from the traditional world of terrestrial radio to the alternative ...or not world of the interwebs. Well, for a short while, anyway, as he is my guest on the show this morning. I'm writing this early, as I have a very busy day, and want links and videos posted ... so who knows where our conversation will go. All I know is you won't want to miss it. We'll chat with another outspoken voice - Cliff Schecter - in the first hour. And I have [...]

The Yes Men Strike Again!

That's the new logo for Your Bank of America. It's on the website at YourBofA.com. Once you go there, you'll see that it has been flagged as a "phishing" site. It is nothing of the kind, and you should report that as an error, and then proceed to the site. I found it this morning upon receiving a "press release" from Your Bank of America that read: Bank of America Corporation has added a news release to its Newsroom. Bank of America Announces “Your Bank of America” Campaign, Partnership with Taxpayers to Revamp U.S. BankingDate(s): 18-Apr-2012 9:00 AM As [...]

Guns, Guns Wherever We Go

This morning, I shared an email I received the other day from a man who started a petition on Signon.org. His father was killed by police, and no one seemed to care.... On November 19, 2011, my father, 68-year-old Kenneth Chamberlain Sr., was shot and killed in his home in White Plains, New York. My father was a 20-year veteran of the Westchester County Department of Corrections and proudly served the United States of America as a Marine. He stood about 5 feet, 9 inches tall, and he suffered from a heart condition. The events that led to his killing [...]

We’re Still Here!

OK, so much of the country has checked out this week, but we're still here carrying on! Today is a double header... I popped in to finish off the year of the Nicole Sandler Show here on Radio or Not this morning. Cliff Schecter and John Fugelsang helped us close the book on 2011. That one is up on the podcast so you can listen in case you missed it. I'm now sitting in Randi Rhodes' studio, getting ready to fill in for her again today. It's going to be another fun afternoon with another visit from Cliff Schecter talking [...]

Today’s Show – Tuesday Nov 8

It's election day! But it's an off-off year, meaning that many people don't think they need to vote. However, in Ohio and Mississippi, it's mandatory today! Troubles at Occupy Wall Street? GottaLaff has a new Blunt webisode. And poor Koch-Cain is in a whole lotta hot water... All on today's show... Blogger Fritz Tucker has been going to Zuccotti Park to participate in Occupy Wall Street, and made some observations that should be of interest to all concerned about the future of the movement. He joined me on the show this morning to talk about "A Chill Descends on [...]

Just Another Day In Paradise

I've been reading some of the messages to the 1% at occupytheboardroom.org, and this one - and many others like it - say so much! UNDERWATER Hello. We paid cash for our house back in 2005. Now, it's worth less than half what we paid for it, in spite of nearly $85,000.00 in improvements financed on our bank credit line. Why the price drop? The bottom fell out of the FL market, thanks to reckless and selfish actions by banks and mortgage brokers. We are now surrounded by foreclosures and short sales and abandoned houses and weeds and trash and squatters [...]

Singing a Sad American Tune

Paul Simon's American Tune aptly sums up my feelings this morning... And I don't know a soul who's not been battered I don't have a friend who feels at ease I don't know a dream that's not been shattered or driven to its knees But it's all right, it's all right We've lived so well so long Still, when I think of the road we're traveling on I wonder what went wrong I can't help it, I wonder what went wrong We've been seriously misused. We elected a president who we thought would at least stand up for [...]

Bachmann and Huntsman and Cain, Oh My!

I know the common way of thinking today is that with this slate of GOP presidential hopefuls, Obama will win a second term quite handily. Unfortunately, President Obama seems to be doing too much to make that likelihood a much longer shot than it should be. The man who so many of us voted for in the hope that he'd be our generation's FDR has instead decided to try to be everybody's BFF. And it's not working! Yesterday, Michele Bachmann officially announced her bid for the presidency. Even though she claimed to embrace all four legs of a [...]

The Morning After

OK, so I was wrong with a couple of my predictions. Florida's loathsome Attorney General, Bill McCollum, will not be running for Governor after all. Perhaps it was his decision to take Florida's taxpayers money to spearhead a misguided attempt by a group of AGs to sue the federal government over the health care law. But whatever the reason, the Republicans of Florida decided that the sleazy billionaire Rick Scott--who didn't bother to show up at any debates with his opponent, including one just four days ago where he sent his mother in his stead-- would make a better candidate! [...]
