My Mother and My Daughter - both with May 3 birthdays!

Some of my favorite people in the world were born on this day.  My mom, who died a week shy of my 20th birthday, is right up there along with my daughter who turns the big 1-3 today.

My two closest friends also share in this special day – as Eva’s daughter Molly is 11 today, and my other close friend from childhood, Jaime, was also born on May 3.  So there’s got to be something pretty awesome about the third day in May, huh?

A quickie on today’s show, as I have a birthday party to put together….

We continued the coverage that the corporate media didn’t provide on the May Day actions around the world… I hope to get Allison Kilkenny on the show again one of these days- but in her absence today, I shared her wonderful article for The Nation, “Tens of Thousands March in Oakland, New York for May Day.”  And, though I haven’t heard the episode yet, I hear that today’s Citizen Radio is pretty awesome too…

My guests today were Sandi Behrns of the Cassandra Files, and comedian/podcaster Matt Filipowicz.

Freedom House yesterday released its annual Press Freedom Survey, and you’ll be delighted to hear (or not) that the US ranks 22nd, tied with Jamaica and Estonia.  Seriously.

The country that proudly touts the first amendment to the Constitution:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Perhaps Congress made no such law, but the chilling effect on the media by its corporate overlords is quite clear.

I launched my own, unscientific “free press” survey yesterday.  I watched more hours of MSNBC “news” than any person should be subject to, looking for one mention of yesterday’s world-wide, massive MayDay actions, marches, protests.  Between 6 and 10pm, the effort was for naught.

At 10, as I’m unable to watch the bullying Lawrence O’Donnell, I flipped over to Current for the Young Turks rebroadcast, to hear Cenk do the story justice.

But I was really missing Keith Olbermann’s presence on my TV last night, as he was the guy who regularly gave the occupy movement the coverage it deserved.

Since the corporate media was derelict in its duties, I spent much of the first hour today reaching out to some who participated yesterday.  I spoke with Linda Busch Somach in NY and Rob Rousseau in DC, and lamented the loss of an open free press in the US.

In the second hour, I was joined on the subject by the adorable and very funny Maysoon Zayid (who’s appearing tomorrow night in San Francisco!)

I smell revolution in the air.  It comes with the American Spring and the rebirth of the newly awakened Occupy movement. How apropos that people will protest around the world on May Day!  Not only is it International Workers Day, but mayday is the internationally recognized signal of distress.

We’ll just scratch the surface of the May 1st General Strike (#M1GS) actions happening around the US today with a few activists.  Robert, aka @rousseau_ist of the Occupied News Network will get us started from McPherson Square in Washington DC.  We’ll head up to NYC to talk with Linda Busch Somach (@lippylulumama) who runs the OccupyEarth livestream channel, and then head west to San Francisco to speak with @PunkBoyinSF (punkboyinsf.org).

It’s Tuesday, that means a visit from The Political Carnival‘s GottaLaff to talk about these stories and more:

Romney campaign aide: Auto bailout was Mitt Romney’s idea

VIDEO- Mitt Romney: Democrats “say no one should live” in luxury. Reality check time, Willard.

The Republicans are the problem… Compromise has gone out the window.”

VIDEO: Rachel Maddow in heated debate with a very condescending Alex Castellanos on Meet the Press

VIDEO: John Boehner has to convince us that Mitt Romney is likable +

VIDEO- John Boehner: Mitt Romney’s wealth, privilege are a plus, because “the American people don’t want to vote for a loser.”

Although it seemed as I was alone in the chat room this morning, I thought both President Obama and Jimmy Kimmel were funny at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner Saturday night.  Of course, I watched from my living room, having gotten no invitation to the soiree (unlike Kim Kardashian and Lindsay Lohan)…

I’ve said this many times before; if we don’t laugh, we’ll cry.  When things are this fucked up, we need an escape, or three.  And laughter is, indeed, the best medicine.

I appreciate that President Obama can laugh at himself, and take the barbs that Kimmel slung with a gigantic smile.

Some of my favorite lines from Kimmel:

“I want to thank the Washington Hilton for hosting us tonight. You know, President Obama wanted to move the dinner to the Kennedy Center, and the Republicans wanted to keep it here at the Hilton.  So they compromised, and here we are at the Hilton.:  and

“Mr. President, remember when the country rallied around you in hopes of a better tomorrow? That was hilarious!”   and

“Mr. President, I hope you don’t think I’m out of line here but marijuana is something that real people care about and the fact that you believe Speaker Boehner when he tells you he still has control of his party leads me to believe that you’re smoking some crazy great weed yourself.”

Oh there was more, including the line about how when Obama called Kanye West a jackass, he was really talking about Allen… Watch it here:

But the president was pretty funny himself! I especially liked this line: “What’s the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? A pit bull is delicious!

It was funny, and it’s ok to laugh!

Today on the show, I spoke with Howie Klein of DownWithTyranny and the Blue America PAC

And, as we do every Monday, I spent most of the second hour with Crooks and Liars’ Nicole Belle, recapping the most heinous moments of the Sunday talking head shows in a segment aptly named “Fools on the Hill.”  Today, she brought us these gems:

It’s inevitable that with the anniversary of the capture and killing of Osama bin Laden, the Republicans are scrambling to downplay President Obama’s successes. In fact, the whole Sunday show circuit was nothing but Bizarro World projections on reality.

So it shouldn’t surprise you that former RNC chair and current Romney adviser Ed Gillespie accused Barack Obama of being ‘one of the most divisive presidents in American history’ by turning the killing of Obama into a ‘partisan political attack.’ Because no Republican has ever politicized bin Laden for their personal gain.

Nor should it be unexpected that Ed Gillespie counted on the pea-sized brains and complete short term memory loss of the average Republican voter when he bald-faced lied about the economic recovery and distort Bush’s record on job creation. Of course, host David Gregory let him.

And John Boehner—the Speaker for the least productive House of Representatives in modern history—reassures Candy Crowley that while he and Obama have a ‘very good relationship’, he’s concerned that the president is ‘diminishing the presidency’ by advocating causes like the Buffett Rule. He’s just being helpful, doncha know?

I think Robert Gibbs had it right when he told David Gregory that the sum total of the Republican message this election season is “You didn’t clean up our mess fast enough.”

Finally, the one segment that had me more angry than any other was the Meet the Press panel discussing women’s rights and the assault by Republican-led legislatures both at the state and federal level. It’s a rare treat to get Rachel Maddow on the Sunday shows: smart as a whip, able to access facts quickly and accurately and an unapologetic liberal. There’s a decent chance that some points that you don’t normally hear from the corporate media. But not if Republican strategist Alex Castellanos is simultaneously booked. He drips with patronizing misogyny as he derails any hope of an intelligent discussion by arguing with Rachel the completely inarguable fact that women make less than men.

Ok, quickie post today with links to guests and topics only, as I got a call this morning asking me to pinch hit for Randi Rhodes again today.  So…. busy day!

First of all, Elvis Costello was great last night.. I’ll talk a bit about it on the show this morning, along with the thing that pisses me off every time I go to a concert!

And second, big apologies to Shane-O and Danielle for leaving my ustream encoder on yesterday, forcing them off the air until I could reach my daughter and have her shut down my computer last night. That WON’T happen again!

Now on to the first of two shows today:

At least two of my pals, Aaron Krager and Dave Johnson, were in Detroit yesterday for the annual GE Shareholders Meeting (the same way I attended the Carnival meeting a couple of weeks ago)….  Read their respective coverage of it at the above links, and listen for Aaron’s account at the beginning of the show.

Then, if you haven’t already realized it, the BP spew in the Gulf  two years ago is still an ongoing unmitigated disaster, you’re wearing blinders.  Just read this sickening report from Antonia Juhasz for The Nation… and listen, as she joins me this morning (and hopefully on Randi’s show this afternoon too.)And finally, it’s Thursday – the end of  the broadcast week for The Nicole Sandler Show.

I usually try to end the week with some laughs. Today, they”ll be provided by the always funny Maysoon Zayid!

***Last minute change **** Maysoon had a family emergency so she had to cancel (we’ll get her back on one morning next week). In her place, I called on Tim Karr of FreePress.net and SaveTheInternet.com to talk about CISPA – the ”Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act” (HR 3523).  Find out more and sign the petition against it here!

 

Talk to you this afternoon on the Randi Rhodes Show, with these guests:

3:30 Rick Ungar on the Great Social Security Lie
4:06 Rep. Raul Grijalva SB1070 & SCOTUS
4:30 Aurora Meneghello on Student Loan Hell (Writer/Director Default the Movie)
5:30 Antonia Juhasz, who was on my show this morning, back the afternoon to continue our discussion about BP’s Toxic Legacy.

I don’t have much time to write this today, as I have to take my kid to a doctors appointment shortly… But I did want to give links from today’s show, and write a few words about fairness, which was the overarching theme of today’s show.

My friend Cliff Schecter summed up some of it beautifully for Politico:

Only in America.

We have a system where each candidate for high office only has to befriend there very own pet oligarch – be it Adelson, Foster Freiss, etc. – and they can run for office forever, as their friendly billionaire gives money to their Super Pac in an entirely “uncoordinated” manner.

We have top government officials who have admitted to allowing torture, but they are free. Wall Street hot shots who lied to their clients and then bet against them. But not one prosecution. And on and on.

But we are really wasting our time and effort on John Edwards? I’m sorry, but I really can’t get worked up about violations of our campaign finance laws, when they are a complete joke. And when people who did far worse don’t even need to hide it.

It is fun for everyone to hate John Edwards right now, because that allows us to project all of that’s wrong onto one man. What he did was terrible, but there are likely thousands, if not tens of thousands of people who who have done things much worse, that have legitimately hurt scores of people, and they will never see the inside of a courtroom. And that is what is shameful.

Of course, I’m talking bigger picture here… with the Supremes today hearing arguments on Arizona’s SB1070 “Papers Please” racial profiling law.  I discussed that with Henry Fernandez, spokesman for Reform America’s Immigration Laws in the last half-hour of the show.

I began with my second conversation this week with the awesome Greg Palast, this time because the first arrest was made yesterday in conjunction with the BP disaster… unfortunately, it was a scapegoat instead of someone truly responsible for the humongous mess they created.

Then I spoke with Andrew Gumbel, author of the new book Oklahoma City: What the investigation missed – and why it still matters

And President Obama joined Jimmy Kimmel on TV last night to talk about student loan rates doubling in July… in a creative way….

Oh, the things that we find funny, and the things that would be hysterical if only they weren’t so terribly, horribly sad.

First up is the notion that allowing everyone the same joys and sorrows of marriage will threaten your own happy or sad union.  Seriously.  The state of North Carolina, currently in early voting mode, is voting on Amendment 1 which reads

“Marriage between one man and one woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this state.”

Unfortunately, the latest Public Policy Polling data released today shows 10 percent of voters still erroneously think voting down Amendment 1 would legalize gay marriage and another 27 percent are unsure what it would do.  That falls under the really sad category.

I called on Pam Spaulding, North Carolina resident and proprietor of Pam’s House Blend to join me this morning to talk about just how truly heinous this amendment is.

Big money forces are at work, pushing this piece-of-shit legislation with ads like this peppering the airwaves:

Sad, yet again.
Fortunately, there are some ads to counter that particular brand of bullshit, like these:

and

But they need money to keep running them on the air throughout North Carolina. Pam told us you can donate at tinyurl.com/amendment1 . Early voting is already in progress, and election day is May 8.

Also not funny is the hatred used to instill fear and loathing into otherwise more normal people.  Arizona’s racist SB 1070 (or the “Papers Please” law) went into effect two years ago yesterday.  Tomorrow, the Supreme Court will hear arguments on its constitutionality.  How sad is that — that it’s even gotten this far?

We’ll get more in-depth on that topic on tomorrow’s show.

This morning, I also continued yesterday’s conversation on the lack of real, independent investigative journalism – today with someone else who actually does it!  Russ Baker of WhoWhatWhy.com was on with me today, and will speak tonight in NYC at 6:30pm, Mid-Manhattan Library, 455 Fifth Avenue at 40th St, 6thfloor.

And we wrapped things up as we do every Tuesday morning with The Political Carnival’s GottaLaff- we talked about these stories before descending into the depths of scatological humor…

Good People

No, Solomon, Palast & Belle isn’t a law firm … quite the opposite.  These three are people who do a lot of good – and happened to all be guests on my show this morning!

We began with Norman Solomon, long time activist turned congressional candidate.  I always love talking with Norman, but wanted him on the show this morning so I could talk listeners into donating a few bucks to his campaign.  Extra impetus – your donation to Solomon’s campaign (or to Dr. David Gill‘s) AT THIS LINK enters you into a drawing to win a Fender Stratocaster autographed by all the members of Barenaked Ladies – a prize offered by Howie Klein, former president of Reprise Records, now with the Blue America PAC..

Norman Solomon is running for Congress from California’s 2nd district, one of the most progressive in the nation (and also one of the most beautiful!), the seat being vacated by Lynn Woolsey.  I’ve been a fan of Norman’s for years because of the way he walks the talk.  From wikipedia:

Norman Solomon (born 1951) is an Americanjournalist, media critic, antiwar activist, and current candidate for the United States House of Representatives. Solomon is a longtime associate of the media watch group Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR). In 1997 he founded the Institute for Public Accuracy which works to provide alternative sources for journalists, and served as its executive director until 2010. Solomon’s weekly column, “Media Beat”, was in national syndication from 1992-2009. More recently Solomon has focused on his 2012 congressional campaign in California’s 2nd congressional district.

Norman Solomon is one of the really good guys, and our country would be immensely better if he were a member of Congress!

Next up, it was one of the last of a sadly dying breed – investigative journalist Greg Palast.  I’m lucky to count Greg as a friend, and I’m eternally grateful for the work he does.  Unfortunately, the corporately owned and operated media in this country want nothing to do with the truth he uncovers.  Therefore, if you’re to watch his reports on TV, you’ll have to be in England watching the BBC.

His latest book, Vultures Picnic, tells tales too strange to be fiction… this shit only happens for real,  because if you made it up it would be too outlandish.

As we marked the two-year anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon/BP/Halliburton biggest environmental disaster in history, Greg Palast reminds us that BP was experiencing deja vu, as two years before they had an oil rig explode in the Caspian due to quick dry cement and a faulty blowout preventer.

He wrote about it in a two-part series: “BP Cover-Up: They Knew” and “BP Cover-Up Part 2: Bribery, George Bush and Wikileaks” — required reading for any reasonably informed person.

Greg Palast is truly one of the good guys, and we’re more informed, better people for reading/watching his work.

And finally, every Monday morning, I spend the second hour of my show chatting with Nicole Belle.  It’s a segment we call Fools on the Hill – so named by a listener, but apropos because we cover what was said on the Sunday talking head shows the day before, which are populated most of the time by foolish, white, Republican men.

Nicole writes thoughtful, insightful pieces for Crooks and Liars, and our Monday morning conversations do much more than just parrot what the various fools said on TV.  Plus, she watches those shows so we don’t have to, and reports back so we know what they’re up to, and what nonsense they’re spewing to the masses.

Nicole Belle really is one of the good guys, and I’m thrilled that she awakens early every Monday morning to make me sound smarter!

Here’s her weekly wrap-up of the stories she brought us today:

You may have heard that FAIR came out with a study last week that confirmed what we liberals have already known all along: the Sunday shows are disproportionately white, male, very wealthy and conservative. And you can tell by what they decide to discuss on the Sunday shows how little regard they have for the concerns of most Americans.

For example, you would think there is no more important news story in America than the Secret Service scandal. Helpful hint: it’s called “the world’s oldest profession” for a reason.

Of course, the Democratic Party’s favorite turncoat, Joe Lieberman, wants America to hold Obama accountable for the Secret Service and GSA scandals. Not responsible, but accountable. Because this is the very first time something like this has ever happened. Too bad Joe wasn’t as outraged about the huge expenditures that the federal government made towards Halliburton and Blackwater. I’m pretty sure the GSA parties in Vegas were a drop in the bucket in comparison.

That’s not the only thing that Republicans want to blame President Obama for. Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels – in a clear bid for the Vice President position – faults Obama for not fixing the mess that Daniels, who served as Bush’s Budget Director, left him.

One of the more notable events of the Sunday shows is the first appearance of the newly fired Keith Olbermann. Keith unfortunately didn’t get a chance for much in the way of intelligent debate, mostly because he shared the roundtable with Peggy Noonan. His one chance to stand out and perhaps make a pitch for the eighteenth comeback of Keith Olbermann came when he suggested that the price of gas has been artificially manipulated…to the detriment of Obama’s re-election chances.

In the “what planet are you from?” department, Marco Rubio told Candy Crowley that George W. Bush did a “fantastic job as president.” The mind reels.

And finally, from whatever planet Mitt Romney lives on, he has come out swinging against the traditional media and accused them of being a vast left wing conspiracy in the ba

The update on Ted Nugent that I opened the show with came courtesy of Daily Kos. Bill Schmalfeldt, with way too much time on his hands, actually found Courtney Love’s confession that “one of the first times” she had oral sex was with the Nuge, when she was 12 YEARS OLD!   Holy fucking pedophile!

This intrepid blogger actually waded through a blog called MikesFriggin.com – some other poor soul who actually writes about what was said on the Howard Stern show each day, wrote this on March 23, 2004:

Courtney Love phoned into the Howard Stern Show on Monday before eventually coming into the studio where she made the shocking allegation that one of the first times she had oral sex was with Ted Nugent. She said she was young and she didn’t want to say exactly how old she was, but eventually confessed she was 12-year-old — which would have made Nugent approximately 28 years old at the time. The New York Post attempted to contact Nugent for a response but was unsuccessful. Moderators at Nugent’s official forum deleted the only thread asking about the topic as evidenced by the forum’s search giving a file not found error for the matched thread. She added it was a long time ago and she didn’t even have breasts yet.

Eeeew.  And as the mother of a 12-year old daughter, let me add, PERVERT!!

Then, we moved on to the other not-so-smart ALEC, this one the American Legislative Executive Council.  I learned almost everything I know about them via the brilliant website ALECexposed.org – a collaboration between the Center for Media & Democracy and The Nation with everything you’d ever want to know about ALEC and more!  This morning, CMD executive director Lisa Graves joined me on the show to talk about the many corporations and organizations who have pulled out of ALEC in the past week or so, and the reports that say that ALEC has “dismantled” the “task force” that was responsible for foisting its sickening Stand Your Ground, voter suppression, jail privatization and more legislation, and what it all means.

In the second hour, after an update about yesterday’s Yes Men hoax on Bank of America(!),  John Fugelsang joined in for a visit too…

And that’s it for this week.  Talk to you Monday, radio or not!

That’s the new logo for Your Bank of America.  It’s on the website at YourBofA.com.   Once you go there, you’ll see that it has been flagged as a “phishing” site.  It is nothing of the kind, and you should report that as an error, and then proceed to the site.

I found it this morning upon receiving a “press release” from Your Bank of America that read:

Bank of America Corporation has added a news release to its Newsroom. 

Bank of America Announces “Your Bank of America” Campaign, Partnership with Taxpayers to Revamp U.S. BankingDate(s): 18-Apr-2012 9:00 AM

As future clouds, opportunities arise for public synergy

CHARLOTTE, N.C.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Apr. 18, 2012– Bank of America today announced the launch of an unprecedented campaign to reach out to the American public for guidelines on how banking should happen. The campaign, Your Bank of America (www.yourbofa.com), leverages the American public’s disaffection with today’s banking practices into a full suite of real banking solutions.

“We may not have all the answers, but we’re confident that those answers exist,” said Brian Moynihan, Chief Executive Officer of Bank of America. “We want to make sure the American people are well positioned to assert control and implement changes in the direction of banking, in the eventuality that such control becomes feasible.”

“Bringing in the public sector is a good strategy for earning buy-in at a difficult time for our industry,” said Moynihan. “But this is not just a PR campaign: as the public uses our new website to share ideas of how banks should be run, we will see many ideas that are quite far ahead of the market norm. Running a bank in a sane and common-sense way isn’t rocket science—and that’s something the customer knows best.”

Read CEO Brian Moynihan’s “Letter to Fellow Americans.”

The unprecedented Your Bank of America campaign and rebranding effort is being announced on April 18th to mark the 106th anniversary of the great San Francisco earthquake. After the earthquake, the fledgling Bank of America (at the time Bank of Italy) cemented its reputation as a trustworthy local institution by setting up a desk in the rubble to make loans to rebuild the city.

But Bank of America is no longer a local bank with local responsibilities. Bank of America currently controls more than 12% of America’s retail bank deposits and 17% of all American home mortgages, and serves tens of millions of consumers and small businesses in over 150 countries, as well as 80% of the Fortune 500 Global Companies. The bank is the single largest funder of a number of major US industries, like coal, is the number one underwriter of global high-yield debt, and is the third largest underwriter of global equity, ever since its 2009 purchase of Merrill Lynch. But despite its size, Bank of America stock has lost 75-80% of its value in five years, returning weak profits and ending in a near-junk credit rating.

“Our rapid growth, allowed by a relaxed regulatory framework, has resulted in a disconnect with the core values that governed our early years,” said Moynihan. “As we face the prospect of public oversight in the not-too-distant future, this is a wonderful time to reappraise how we perform, and to try out new approaches—or, at least, sow the seeds that will help others to do so.”

Look at our books here.

The Your Bank of America campaign has been designed in a spirit of honesty and transparency. Levelling with the American people about the current status of the institution’s finances is seen as a necessary first step in soliciting fresh new ideas for a way forward past any eventuality, including even receivership. “What do you want your bank to do for you?” “How should your bank’s core business work?” and “How can your bank contribute to a fair economy for all?” are just a few of the questions the firm is now seeking to answer.

See the ideas Americans are coming up with here.

Your Bank of America will be every bit as innovative, equitable, and sustainable as our new partners can make it,” said Matthew S. McSlatter, Director of Post-Receivership Partnership Planning. “We are confident that from the wise many will emerge a new model, a new ethic, and a whole new Bank for America.”

“2008 saw financial institutions receive a federal rescue package, then go on to repeat the same errors that had brought them to that situation in the first place,” said McSlatter. “We’re confident that the American people could do better, whether given the receivership option or not.”

The firm is also soliciting design concepts for a soon-to-be tested global multi-media advertising campaign to announce the new Your Bank of America brand. “When people see their ideas take flight in the mediasphere, they get very excited,” said Kitty Carmichael, VP for advertising etc. “We can’t wait to see what people come up with.”

After visiting the site, I decided to call Bengo Guenther.  After a few tries, “he” answered and we had a fabulous conversation.  At the end, I asked if he’d ever met either Andy Bichlbaum or Mike Bonnanno, and he pleaded ignorance, but said he might like to.

An awesome hit on Bof A by the inimitable Yes Men.  And I do suggest that you visit YourBofA.com while you still can, submit your ideas for how we, the taxpayers and future owners of BofA would do it better, and even create your own ad campaign for them/us!  I’ll say it again, simply brilliant!

I called on my pal, pundit, author, columnist and PR man, Cliff Schecter to comment on that, as well as the assholery that is Ted Nugent and Mitt Romney, the latest on ALEC, and the other bizarre stories in the news today.

And, in the second hour, I spoke with another friend, Sara Robinson. She is the recently installed editor of the Visions section of AlterNet, where she uses her credentials as an accredited Futurist to help us navigate our path forward.   We discussed her latest piece, “6 People You Need to Start a Revolution”, which should be required reading for every OWS activist!

Tomorrow on the show, the latest on ALEC with Lisa Graves of Center for Media & Democracy and ALECexposed, and John Fugelsang too!
