The Plight of the Pre-Old

Listen to this episode: {play}http://traffic.libsyn.com/radioornot/20120822_Nicole_Sandler_Show.mp3 {/play} Podcast: Play in new window I am of the Pre-Old group.  We poor, unfortunate sots who are currently just under 55 who will be screwed (and not in a good way) if Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney have their way. Yes, they'd preserve Medicare benefits for our current seniors (or so they say), but those of us under that magical 55-year old mark will have "more choices".  (If you believe that I have some lovely swampland for sale just a few miles west of where I sit right now.) As much as the GOP [...]

It’s an Upside Down World

I've been singing this song for a while now.  In GOP land, up is down, in is out, and right is truly wrong. Unfortunately, the Democrats in power aren't helping very much to make sense of it either. Yesterday, in advance of a sit-down with Republican party leaders, President Obama gave them something they've been wanting without asking for anything in return.  Seriously.  He just offered up no pay raises for most of the 2 million people who work for the federal government... Yes, middle class workers taking the hit again! In case you were wondering, the freeze doesn't affect [...]

Giving Thanks

Ten years ago today, I arrived at the orphanage in Karakastek, Kazakhstan for the last time.  I had been there a number of times in the days before, meeting and bonding with the child who would become my daughter.  On this day, she'd leave with me, to be with me forever.  Ten years ago yesterday, I stood before a judge in Kazakhstan who granted my petition for adoption.  We  call this our "forever day."  (In case you're wondering, Sandy was my first baby... of the four legged-variety.  But that's a story for another day!) I had meant to re-post the [...]

The Reality of War

Yesterday, David Swanson told us that War is a Lie. Today, we see the sad truth that comes out of those lies. Restrepo, the Grand Jury Prize winner for Documentary at this year's Sundance Film Festival, is a feature-length film by photojournalist Tim Hetheringon and journalist/author Sebastian Junger that chronicles the deployment of US troops stationed at one of the most dangerous outposts in Afghanistan.  It'll premiere Monday night (11/29) at 9pm ET on the National Geographic channel. Tim Hetherington will be my guest this morning to talk about this new, unvarnished look at the realities of war. In hour [...]

War Is A Lie and New Fools Head for the Hill!

It's Monday... so we'll visit with Nicole Belle of Crooks and Liars as we do every Monday morning for our "Fools on the Hill" segment, recapping the Sunday talking head shows.  And yes, we have a whole crop of new and bigger fools heading for the Hill...and we'll hear from at least one of them today. In the first hour, I'll be joined by my favorite activist, David Swanson, whose new book, War Is A Lie, hits stores today. This weekend, I participated in a voiceover workshop... and one of the exercises was to write and deliver a rant, in [...]
