Right Wingers Infiltrate Netroots Nation and Make Shit Up

Listen to this episode: {play}http://traffic.libsyn.com/radioornot/20120612_Nicole_Sandler_Show_-_Darcy.mp3 {/play} Play in new window Darcy Burner (candidate for Congress from WA-01) gave me my first goose bump moment at Netroots Nation last week. It was during the Keynote plenary "The War on (and for) Women". About 10 minutes into her address, after speaking about the cultural shift that now has her Republican dad speaking openly about her uncle Charlie who "probably is gay", Darcy explained that the stories in people heads have changed. It's due to a change in the way we look at things, and become more accepting of ideas that we didn't, [...]

On HR3, Osama bin Laden, and Allen West’s Very Small Penis

Quite a show today... David Dayen, who always does a great job covering the news for FireDogLake, joined me near the top of the show to give the details on yesterday's passage of HR3 - the anti-choice bill - by the House of Representatives.

Jason Leopold, deputy managing editor of Truthout.org, has done extensive investigative reporting on Guantanamo Bay, including exclusive interviews with former guards and detainees. He joined the show this morning to cut through the [...]

Are You In?

I've never been a joiner. I wore the marching to my own drummer badge proudly ever since I was an outsider in school. I registered as a Democrat after spending years with No Party Affiliation (even though I've never voted for a Republican) so I could vote for John Edwards in the Florida primary in 2008. I know what Edwards turned out to be... but during the primaries, he appeared to me to be the most electable progressive choice we had. I did, however, enthusiastically support Obama when he became the nominee. And I've watched incredulously as my hopes for [...]

Cost of War vs. Cost of College

There's a truly remarkable, albeit depressing website. Click on CostofWar. com and you can see, to the second, how much the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are costing us. I can't even post the figure, as it's constantly changing... the counters move faster than the ones at the gas pump. Tonight, I'll chat with a couple of people who've done the math in California. You probably remember reading about the students in California protesting the rate hikes in the state university system just last month. Now, Brave New Foundation, University of California Student Leaders, and the Consumer Federation of California [...]
