Time for The Dems to Grow a Backbone

Listen to this episode: {play}http://traffic.libsyn.com/radioornot/20120904_Nicole_Sandler_Show_-_Time_for_Dems_to_Grow_a_Backbone.mp3 {/play} Podcast: Play in new window    There were a lot of great speeches last night - from First Lady (Mom-In-Chief) Michelle Obama, to Tammy Duckworth, to Lilly Ledbetter ... but the one that made me sit up and listen was from the current governor of Massachusetts, Deval Patrick.  Part of the money quote is in the picture above, but the whole thing is worth repeating: "We believe that freedom means keeping government out of our most private affairs - including out of a woman's decision whether to keep an unwanted pregnancy, and everybody's decision about [...]

Because They Said It Better Than I Could

Soothing the Savage Beast

I'm not feeling great today, and my savage soul could use a little soothing. So, I invited my friend (the awesome singer songwriter) Jill Sobule on the show this morning. After talking with her and hearing some of her songs, I am feeling a little better. Of course, I spent the first hour ranting about the insanity of the right wing.  By now, you've likely seen this video: In GOP world, education is bad, and you're only qualified to be president if you're a white Christian.  Maybe we should teach them the history of the Mormons. In other news... CPAC [...]
