8-16-16 Nicole Sandler Show – Nothing Makes Sense

Every day I wake up and wonder how the hell we got to this place: fewer than 90 days away from a presidential election with the two most reviled candidates in history as the major party nominees. One of them is politics as usual - in the worse sense of the term, and the other is a narcissist and loose cannon who could conceivably start a nuclear war over a perceived slight. I get that Hillary Clinton was nominated. She's gone through the steps and worked her way up the ladder. I don't like it, but I do understand it. But [...]

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: After TRUMP'S speech suggesting his followers use their 2nd amendment rights on HILLARY, (which was taken to mean "using violence").

8-11-16 Surgical Consult #2 – University of Miami/Sylvester Cancer Center

Our second surgical consult was with Dr. Dao Nguyen from University of Miami/Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center. The photo above was at the Deerfield Beach clinic, 20 minutes from my home, where I'll have my follow-up appointments if I choose to go with them. Dr. Nguyen's CV is truly impressive, as was he in person. He went over the reports with us and showed us the tumors on the CT scan, and gave his recommendations. Although his diagnosis and recommendation of surgery was  consistent with Dr. Robinson's at Moffitt the day before, his approach to surgery is different. Dr. Robinson uses [...]

Media Bias Sunday Talk scoreboard! GOP 7, Dems 2 #LibrulMediaMyAss

Tomorrow is Media Bias Sunday! Or as I like to call it, Librul Media My Ass Sunday. Previously I kept a running tally of all things unfair, unbalanced for years via the infamous TPC Media Bias Sunday Talk scoreboard. Now the series is a regular feature at Radio Or Not. No matter who’s in the White House or runs Congress, the corporate media nearly always has more GOP guests appearing on Sunday talk shows than Democratic guests, many of them to the right of right. Tea party right. Carl Paladino “Obama is a Muslim” right. This week there was plenty of news centered around both presidential candidates. [...]

8-12-16 Nicole Sandler Show – Politics, Pot and Publix

  I'm back. For now... Since I've been out for the past few Thursdays, we've been missing Harvey J. Kaye. So he joined me today for a quick visit.

The Silver Tour's Robert Platshorn joined in to tell us about tomorrow's one day picket of Publix, whose founder's heir donated $800 million to the campaign to defeat Amendment 2, the medical marijuana amendment on the ballot Nov 8. If you're in South Florida, come [...]
