It’s a Two-Fer Tuesday!

Yes, another busy day here in the Radio or Not studios.  I'll host my regular show today, at the regular 10-noon ET time, and then change gears to guest host the Randi Rhodes Show this afternoon (3-6pm ET), as she's been caught up in the ice storm that's paralyzing the northeast again today.  Nice winter, huh? There's plenty to talk about, including Sarah Palin's pity party on Faux News last night, and the ramp up to the GOP vote to repeal health care, and much more... And when it's Tuesday, we hang with GottaLaff of The Political Carnival for a [...]

The Role of Hate Speak

Those of us on the left aren't the only ones who immediately thought of Sarah Palin's crosshairs map and Sharron Angles' "Second Amendment remedies" when we heard that Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot. The right wing immediately went into defensive mode. Did you notice that the first time we heard Sheriff Dupnik speak on Saturday, he called out professional incendiary talkers: "People tend to poo-poo this business about all the vitriol that we hear inflaming the American public by people who make a living off of doing that. That may be free speech, but it's not without consequences." You'll notice [...]

Wednesday Busy Wednesday

What a show we have for you tonight.  Unfortunately, I have no time for the rest of the interviews I taped at Netroots Nation... all the more reason to tune in tomorrow night! Of course, the big story today comes from Arizona, where US District Court Judge Susan Bolton blocked the most controversial sections of SB 1070, which was slated to take effect tomorrow.  The law will still go into effect tomorrow, but without the most heinous provisions-- including the sections that required officers to check a person's immigration status while enforcing other laws, and the parts that required immigrants [...]

Tuesday on the Randi Rhodes Show

It's another busy day on the Randi Rhodes Show... I'll be joined by Greg Sargent who writes the Plum Line blog for the Washington Post.  We'll talk about the big story of the day: The DOJ has filed a lawsuit against the state of Arizona over the constitutionality of its immigration law. Jon Maddux, CEO of You Walk Away will explain how his company "empowers homeowners through intelligent strategic default"... Yep, they say you walk away from your mortgage! And Jason Leopold, Deputy Managing Editor at Truthout.org will tell us about his newest investigative report: "Dangerous Cost Cuts at Alyeska [...]

Wednesday on Radio or Not!

Wednesdays are always fun for me, because we start the show with a visit from Christy Harvey of the Center for American Progress. I've never met Christy in person, but became a fan of hers during the early days of Air America where she was a frequent guest on the Al Franken Show. Last year, when I was doing nights on Air America, I contacted Christy and asked if she'd do a similar segment with me.. and we've been doing it ever since.  She brings great insight and lots of news stories to talk about that we other wise might [...]

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 [...]

Guests Galore!

What a difference a day makes! Although I'm not 100% yet, I am feeling much better today.  And it's a good thing, because it was a very busy show tonight... We started with comedian Jamie Kilstein who, along with Allison Kilkenny hosts Citizen Radio. Jamie has a new CD out, called Zombie Jesus... It had been a while since I last spoke with Congressman Dennis Kucinich. He joined me tonight to talk about the wars and what it'll take to end them, health care reform and why he voted the way he did, financial reform, and more... If you happen [...]

About Last Night…

Sorry for the delay in posting last night's show. I've been somewhat sidelined by the flu, so am moving at a slower pace than normal...  Better late than never, I suppose. We were also plagued by some technical problems last night. I'm pretty sure I've got those figure out, so tonight should be flawless. (I hope you found the humor in that statement!) Last night's show included a conversation with filmmaker Zach Roberts, who's working on "The Rogue Candidate: Sarah Palin's REAL Alaska."  We got our regular Monday night news update from Victoria Jones at the Talk Radio News Service. [...]

Talk About a Crazy News Day!

Listener Marc in Phoenix emailed today to tell me that Mercury is in retrograde. It actually started on 4/18 and will remain so until 5/11. Perhaps that explains the weird news that's taken over the airwaves today. I talked about some of these stories with Christy Harvey of the Center for American Progress and Mic Check Radio, who joins me for the first segment of the show on most Wednesdays. Tonight, we talked about the craziness that is Nevada GOP Senatorial hopeful Sue Lowden and her claims that you can barter with your doctor or pay for medical treatment with [...]
