daisyshow@yahoo.com (The Daisy Deadhead Show) — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 08:00:47 PST

Today we will recap the Republican primaries to date with contest coming up on February 28th in Arizona and Michigan. Daisy elaborates on her blog post questioning why a major world corporation would use a “woman-killing” song and nobody seems to care or notice? Is it because the song is by a conservative operative? Why is Volkswagen using Ted Nugent’s song “Stranglehold”. Green Party Presidential candidate nominee Jill Stein (www.JillStein.org) will be our special guest. Stein is a candidate for the Green Party presidential nomination.

Santorum's Sexism

daisyshow@yahoo.com (The Daisy Deadhead Show) — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 07:36:29 PST

Rick Santorum criticized the Pentagon decision to allow 14,000 more female soldiers to serve closer to combat lines. He claimed men would be to emotional and jeopardize the mission to protect female soldiers. Usually the argument is that women are too emotional and since Santorum has never served in the military, what does he base his argument on? Sexism seems to be a common theme with the Santorum campaign. Rick Santorum’s Iowa coalitions director, Jamie Johnson, last summer sent out an email saying that children’s lives would be harmed if the nation had a female president.

Daisy and Gregg will aslo discuss if the Occupy movement should start occupying homes being forclosed upon as the foreclosure continue to happen at alarming rates despite bank bailouts and federal mortgage re-modification programs.

daisyshow@yahoo.com (The Daisy Deadhead Show) — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 07:58:01 PST

This political/news program is hosted by Daisy Deadhead of Daisy's Dead Air blog and Gregg Jocoy of the South Carolina Green Party which sponsors the show.

Tune in for a progressive perspective of the past week's news

Occupy Film Series, Deb Morrow for Congress & the Noam Chomsky misadventure

Deb is a genuine working-class, progressive Democrat and a Spartanburg Occupier. Daisy also got a chance to interview Dr. Noam Chomsky but due to technical difficulties, was unable to record the conversation but she will more than likely share what she and Dr. Chomsky discussed.

The Gringrich who stole South Carolina

daisyshow@yahoo.com (The Daisy Deadhead Show) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:00:56 PST

As you probably know, Newt Gingrich got the most votes in the South Carolina primaries. What you may not know is that the Grinch who stole South Carolina, along with Rick Santorum, both Catholics, were called on by a group of Catholic Bishops to stop their race baiting rhetoric and demonizing the poor. We'll also take a look at the Florida primaries where Newt promised Floridians that he will work to start a moon colony if elected President. Is the current crop of Presidential candidates all the GOP has to offer the American people?

Healthcare reform is back in the news again with HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius making her media rounds to tout improvements. Lets talk about health care and discuss some of the SC Occupy teach ins.

Last but not least, Gregg will update us on his legal case regarding the assault on his freedom of speech which resulted in him being ticketed for having a protest sign deemed to large. Let see, political candidates can purchase billboards but apparently hand held poster boards are deemed to large?

South Carolina GOP Primary, Drug War and Ron Paul

daisyshow@yahoo.com (The Daisy Deadhead Show) — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 12:40:08 PST

This week, Daisy and Gregg will be discussing the 2012 South Carolina primary, and particularly the pivotal role of Ron Paul in the presidential race.

The deck is stacked, and we will be pointing this out and analyzing it further.

We will also reflect on the life and work of Martin Luther King Jr who created the Poor People's Campaign along with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. After the assasination of Dr.King, The SCLC and other leaders decided to continue the Poor Peoples campaign in King’s honor. On May 12, 1968, demonstrators began a two-week protest in Washington, D.C. and that same month thousands of poor people of all races set up a shantytown known as “Resurrection City.” The city was closed down in mid-June and the economic bill of rights was never passed.

Whats more important, Penn State Football or Children?

Longtime Produce Vendor Takes On SC-DOT

MAULDIN, S.C. -- The South Carolina Department of Transportation plans to widen an Upstate roadway -- but not without a fight from a feisty produce vendor. Joel Ann Chandler has operated the Mauldin Open-Air Market on Butler Road for 30 years.

The SC-DOT wants to widen the intersection and the nearby area where Butler Road meets Corn Road and Brides Road. The area includes the road in front of Mauldin High School. Chandler said the changes would make it difficult for her tractor trailer to safely deliver produce. She said the SC-DOT wants to convert a nearby embankment into an access driveway.

"It's going to be hard for us to even get out in the road without red lights; dangerous. Kids are running across the road all the time over here," Chandler said. Read more....
