Secrets and Lies

Isn't it interesting that the day after we learn about  XKeyscore - the NSA tool that collects "nearly everything a user does on the internet," we get the story about a Long Island home being visited by the police because the wife was searching online for pressure cookers and her husband was searching for backpacks. Members of what she described as a "joint terrorism task force" descended on Catalano's home on Wednesday. A spokesman for the FBI told to Guardian on Thursday that its investigators were not involved in the visit, but that "she was visited by Nassau County police department [...]

Presidential Balls

Perhaps it's the fact that today is the last day in April that got me a bit feisty today, or it was the fact that John Fugelsang and GottaLaff were my guests this morning, or that the president's press conference was so easy to heckle - or a combination of all of the above. I guess my potty-mouthed mocking this morning began with the reading of the now-infamous sorority sister's profanity-filled missive, and then listening to this spoof of it. But when President Obama responded to a question during the press conference about the Guantanamo detainees on hunger strikes, I [...]

Equal Rights for All

That picture is my friend Asher Huey.  I don't think Asher is ready to get married yet, but when he is, it will be to the man with whom he wants to spend the rest of his life.  His right to marry the person of his choice is what's at stake-- what the Supreme Court is hearing arguments about, what they may rule on in the next few months. It is the civil rights issue of our time. We've been dealing with it all week on both this show and as I've been filling in for Randi Rhodes on her [...]

Will the Gun Madness Ever End?

  Before yesterday's hearing in the Senate Judiciary Committee on gun violence began, a standoff in Alabama had already entered its second day.  A gunman boarded a school bus, killed the driver and took a five year old hostage where they are still holed up in an underground bunker. While the hearing was in progress, a gunman killed one man and injured at least two others in a shooting in Phoenix, Arizona. The day before the hearing, a 15-year old Chicago girl was killed by a by a gunshot while she huddled under a shelter in a Chicago park to [...]

Sandy!

  Hurricane Sandy is now officially the biggest tropical cyclone in recorded history. As one who's lived through a few major hurricanes, obviously my thoughts and what passes for prayers in my world are with the millions of people in the path of the storm. That crazy image comes courtesy of my favorite weather source: Wunderground.com.  Dr. Jeff Masters has been a frequent guest on my show, but circumstances have him a bit too busy to come on today.  I will be checking his blog throughout today as I do both my show and Randi Rhodes' this afternoon. On my [...]

A Progressive Call to Action!

Listen to this episode: {play}http://traffic.libsyn.com/radioornot/20120808_Nicole_Sandler_Show_-_Get_Money_Out.mp3 {/play} Podcast: Play in new window   If we keep repeating what happened last night in Washington and Michigan, we're going to wind up with a Congress full of assholes like Allen West and Mitt Romney in the White House.  Last night, the voters in Washington's 1st Congressional district really blew it.  Instead of nominating a true progressive in Darcy Burner, they wound up with a corpora-Dem in Suzan DelBene, who'll likely not make it as far as election day in November due to her shoddy (illegal?) financial disclosure filings.  According to Howie Klein over [...]

On Leaks and Drones and a Congressman with Guts

Listen to this episode: {play}http://traffic.libsyn.com/radioornot/20120614_Nicole_Sandler_Show_-_Grayson.mp3 {/play} Podcast: Play in new window What a great looking group, huh? That photo was taken a few months ago, when Stephanie Miller's Sexy Liberal Comedy Tour came to Ft. Lauderdale for a show at the Parker Playhouse.  When Congressman Alan Grayson entered the room, the place erupted in applause and a standing ovation, confusing the performers backstage who had no idea what all the commotion was about. Fast forward to this past Saturday.  There I was, wandering the exhibit hall at Netroots Nation in Providence Rhode Island, when I happened upon Congressman Grayson, chatting [...]

Why Do You Think They Call It Flori-DUH?

Listen to this episode: {play }http://traffic.libsyn.com/radioornot/20120531_Nicole_Sandler_Show__Floriduh.mp3 {/play} Podcast: Play in new window Oh Floriduh, you break my heart.  First, you screw things up so terribly you give the presidency to a loser (in more ways than one) in 2000.  then, in 2010, you elect Volermort to the Governor's office, and put a war criminal - Allen West - into Congress. It's bad enough that you continuing punishing felons long after they've paid their debt to society by denying them their right to vote, but now you want to, almost arbitrarily, take away the vote from citizens just because their name [...]
