8-22-16 Nicole Sandler Show – Back to School, Weather Permitting

I decided to cut the show back to one hour a day today and, of course, forgot to start the recorder going. On top of that, I forgot to start the YouTube stream! So today's show begins already in progress... It just shows how scattered I've been lately. The one thing I haven't been scattered about is the cancer. I keep all the doctors appointments straight and, for the most part, have stayed on top of the stupid, unnecessary, bullshit referrals. I did my research and met with three surgeons, and made a decision. And now my surgery is scheduled [...]

Need a laugh? Time for Another Stand-Up Political Comedy Blog

Yes, it’s time to steal a few more jokes from my father-in-law (F.I.L.). His blog posts range from political comedy to humorous commentary on pop culture. For those of you who might be new here, he used to write for Alan King, Milton Berle and Jonathan Winters, just to name a few. And all those Dean Martin Roasts,  too: Don Rickles, Red Buttons, Phyllis Diller, Sammy Davis, Jr., etc. A tiny respite from all the frustrating events of the day: TRUMP had a big staff shakeup this week and put the head of the ultra conservative "Breitbart News" website, STEPHEN [...]

8-18-16 Pulmonary Function Test

"Is that the cone of silence?" was my first thought upon entering the pulmonary function lab at the University of Miami/Sylvester Cancer Center. I had pretty much decided that I'd have UM's Dr. Dao Nguyen do my surgery by the time we left the Cleveland Clinic the day before, but I still hadn't been to the hospital, as my consult with him the week before was at Sylvester Cancer Center's Deerfield Beach Clinic. So, when he said he wanted a PFT and that it could be done at the main campus in Miami, we figured we could see the facility [...]

8-17-16 Surgical Consult #3 – Cleveland Clinic, Weston FL

Yes, we have a Cleveland Clinic in South Florida. It's actually in Weston, just about a 15-minute drive from my home, making it the most convenient of the three hospitals I've narrowed my choices to. The surgeon we met with there, Dr. Edward Savage, is certainly a rock star, with the Columbia-Yale-Harvard-Penn and more credentials to prove it. Dr. Savage also uses a minimally invasive technique to do the surgery I need. But instead of using the da Vinci robotic technique (apparently the OB/GYN surgeons at CC monopolize the use of them), he does it using his own minimally invasive [...]

8-19-16 Nicole Sandler Show – Ugly Americans Exposed

I'm back today for my final two-hour show for a while. Beginning Monday, I'll do one hour a day, from 3-4pm Eastern until I go in for surgery. I'll keep you posted on that... Today, we had no choice but to confront the ugly American, thanks to those Naked Trumps that appeared in five cities yesterday! In addition to Donald's naked little Donnie, there were other ugly Americans to talk about -- Paul Manafort and Ryan Lochte. The man who could (and should) unseat Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Tim Canova, checks in during the final stretch toward election day on August 30. And in the second hour, [...]

8-18-16 Nicole Sandler Show – Gaius Publius Tells All

  After learning that Hillary Clinton chose Ken Salazar to head her transition team should she win the presidency, a question was asked on a listserv: Is Salazar a tell? To which Gaius Publius answered, "About the eighth in a row, yes." To me, that's a challenge! So I invited him on today's show to tell us the tells... He provided links too! Salazar: https://theintercept.com/2016/08/16/hillary-clinton-picks-tpp-and-fracking-advocate-to-set-up-her-white-house/ Kaine: http://downwithtyranny.blogspot.com/2016/07/making-case-to-clinton-tim-kaine.html https://theintercept.com/2016/07/28/a-fracking-pipeline-puts-tim-kaines-fossil-fuel-industry-ties-to-the-test/ Carol Browner, Heather Zichal and Clinton's climate army: http://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/hillary-clinton-climate-team-226930 CGI: http://crooksandliars.com/2015/01/nafta-tpp-clinton-global-initiatives-free#CGIneoliberal One more link, and a correction.
