The Day Before Thanksgiving Double Header- from Walmart to the Fiscal Cliff..er.. Curb and Beyond

The Black Friday sales are weird. People subject themselves to crowding and pushing and manic people fighting over an item that will soon likely be forgotten anyway. They wait in lines at ungodly hours, all to save a few pennies. And low-wage workers are made to smile and help the angry mobs. In the past couple of years, the start time for Black Friday has inched ever earlier, now starting before Thanksgiving Thursday has ended. The losers in this scenario are those low wage workers who have no other recourse.... until now. Walmart workers are going on strike. More power [...]

On 9/11, Chicago Strike, Religion & Politics and More

Listen to this episode: {play}http://traffic.libsyn.com/radioornot/20120911_Nicole_Sandler_Show.mp3 {/play} Podcast: Play in new window The picture mentions 9-11 truth, but we're not talking about what brought down the towers (and building 7) today. Instead, we're talking about what George W. Bush and his neoconservative foreign policy advisers knew thanks to their daily intelligence briefings. Although most of the pre-911 Presidential Daily Briefings that shed some light on that topic, author Kurt Eichenwald - a contributing editor at Vanity Fair, former NY Times reporter, and author of the new book, 500 Days: Secrets and Lies in the Terror Wars - penned an OpEd for the New York [...]

Teachers & NFL Players with Principles!

Listen to this episode: {play}http://traffic.libsyn.com/radioornot/20120910__Nicole_Sandler_Show_-_Teachers_and_More.mp3 {/play} Podcast: Play in new window For the first time in 25 years, Chicago's teachers are on strike.

As the mother of an eighth-grader who pulled her out of a supposedly good public school in Florida because their cookie-cutter teaching philosophy doesn't work on her, I wish teachers were given the proper resources with which to do their jobs. In Chicago, however, they aren't. They are dealing with overcrowded (and over heated) classrooms and are now being told their pay will be based on standardized testing that has nothing to do with [...]

Power to the People

History is being made today in Wisconsin. Whether or not the Democrats are successful in recalling enough Republicans to take back control of the Wisconsin state Senate, the fact that today's votes are happening is a moment that we should all cherish. It's people power. And the government here in the US is supposed to be of, for and by the people. It's Democracy in action! Even though the corporate media isn't reporting on it, more than 45,000 Verizon workers are on strike! I believe we are at a seminal moment for our generation. We can either embrace the spirit [...]
