Nicole Sandler returns to RadioorNot.com after a week sidelined due to computer problems. She'll recap our lost week, talk with media trainer Joel Silberman and UK Progressive Denis Campbell about Jeremy Corbyn's big win in England
Nicole Sandler is joined by Julianna Forlano to recap last night's first two GOP debates and, more importantly, the final episode of The Daily Show as hosted by Jon Stewart. For Flashback Friday, Nicole goes back 20 years to 8-9-95. She was on the air at KSCA in Los Angeles when the news broke that Jerry Garcia had died. Today, she shares the aircheck from that morning.
(Ed note: I know the image above is not of a cow. It was the perfect image for today's show, where nothing is as it should be. Welcome to Opposite World, Bizarro World, or the world where a cow looks like a horse.) Let's begin with Colbert. Last week, Stephen Colbert showed what real satire is, and the right wing nuts in this country proved they haven't got a clue. Colbert pointed out the complete insincerity and blatant racism of Dan Snyder, the guy who owns the NFL team based in Washington DC, with this bit (starts at the 8:31 [...]
Nicole discusses how humor is an effective tool in elections, and applauds Stephen Colbert's offer of teabagging Trump! Guests are Ben & Jerry's Ben Cohen talking about StampStampede.org, NYCC's Greg Basta on Occupy the Boardroom, and comedian Maysoon Zayid

That's because Viacom (who owns Comedy Central along with, apparently 387 other channels) and DirecTV are in a pissing contest. I honestly don't care that MTV, VH1, CMT and the other 383 Viacom channels are also blacked out. But I want need my daily fix of The Daily Show and Colbert Report. I don't care that I'm usually asleep by the time 11pm ET rolls around or that I can [...]
I think I'll start a new reality show. Shit My Congressman Says. I think it's a winner! Or maybe start small, with a twitter account! Unfortunately, someone already registered ShitMyRepSays... with no tweets. Ugh. I'll keep working on it. Perhaps we'll just make it a regular feature on the show... Allen West really does need some help. The poor man is delusional. Just yesterday, he told a Huffington Post reporter that he had just apologized to Debbie Wasserman-Schultz for his vile and unprofessional actions after her somewhat run-of-the-mill floor speech calling him out on his stance on Medicare. His spokeswoman [...]
We are coming down to the wire. I'll be voting tomorrow. As the following two videos show - one using clever production techniques and scare tactics and the other using that all-too-valuable but becoming ever-scarce and somehow vilified common sense - it's time to put up or shut up. First, we look to our friends at MoveOn.org, whose RepubliCorp campaign is nothing short of brilliant. In fact, it was in keeping with this idea that Lauren Valle had her head stomped on by a Rand Paul campaign worker when she held up a sign proclaiming Paul "RepubliCorp Employee of the [...]
