Is Honey Boo Boo reality show a no, no? Daisy thinks so!

On this week's Daisy Deadhead Show, Daisy takes on Honey Boo Boo, and makes a dramatic prediction. Then she turns her attention to the Oconee Nuclear Station, which has a lot in common with Fukushima, the nuclear power plant which melted down in Japan. George Carlin lends his weight to the show, as do FDR and Iranian President Ahmadinejad. Two of them intend to be funny, but the funniest may be the one who thinks he's being serious. Double A and Gregg talk about the Green Party/Democratic Party forum held recently in Greenville, and Double A talks about the Upstate Pride Parade in Spartanburg. Y'all listen!

Is Mitt Romney giving aid and comfort to the enemy?

DOWNLOAD MP3

Daisy accuses Mitt Romney and his Republican cohorts of treason and offering aid and comfort to the enemy. By criticizing Obama before he or Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had even issued a statement, Romney breaks the bonds which should bring us together. Daisy asks, if liberals had done this after the attack on the World Trade Center, would FOX News be supporting them like they are supporting Romney?

Also, Daisy explains the differences between Neo-Conservatives, Paleo-Conservatives and Conservatives...or as she explains it, "Coyboys and Yankees" and William F. Buckley. Toss in some Trotsky, stir and you have Daisy's lesson on the three branches of what we call "conservative".

TOPICS

Daisy takes a South Carolina Green look at the Republican Nominating Convention with special attention to the role played by her governor, Nikki Haley. Governor Haley pointed to her voter suppression efforts, which will disenfranchise between 175,000 and 200,000 South Carolinian, to thunderous applause. Daisy talks about the "Brown Washing" of the RNC with the placement of the Puerto Rican delegation in a prominent position with TV cameras rolling.

In the next segment Daisy, Gregg and Double A discuss Paul Ryan, his role as cheerleader for the TARP plan, other corporate and bank bail outs, and wonder aloud just how the TEA Party is "in control" of the Republican Party when they got two politicians who have supported so much the TEA Party opposed at the top of their ticket.

In the final segment Daisy discusses the Republican "We Built It" theme, and the group tosses in all sorts of Green Party, Congressional and Occupy news, including a Labor Day celebration Monday, September 3rd, 5 PM, at Piazza Bergamo, located at the corner of Coffee and Main Street in downtown Greenville, SC. As the curtain closes on the show Daisy gives a bit of a preview of the Democratic Nominating Convention. Tune in Saturday at 9 am locally on WFIS, 1600 am and 94.9 fm, or via the show website from anywhere on the globe at www.TheDaisyDeadheadShow.com.

Podcasts of the show are available shortly after the radio show is broadcast at the show website above and at iTunes.

Roots of Republican Rape Definitions - 9:00 AM EST

"When Todd Akin said that women didn't get pregnant if they were "legitimately raped", Daisy knew she had heard this sort of insanity before. Using her vast knowledge of all things feminist she unearthed another Republican, this time in South Dakota, who has his own definition of "real rape". This ultimately leads Daisy to discuss Ayn Rand's rape scene in "The Fountainhead", and the way her self-first philosophy guides today's most extreme Republican leaders.

Daisy is joined by Gregg, who explains how the Green Party defines feminism, and Double A, who shares insights about Rand, Christianity and reminds us all that The Daisy Deadhead Show is THE place to go for the latest cultural news.

Assange, Ryan & Rand

Memories are our mental records of history. Photos can help us recall memories. In this week's episode of The Daisy Deadhead Show Daisy and Gregg talk about the importance of holding on to memories and photographs so we can create our own history. "Please put your photos and memories online." Daisy says.

Julian Assange is in the headlines again. The founder of Wikileaks was granted political asylum by Ecuador but not so fast. The British government is threatening to revoke Ecuador’s embassy status and take Assange by force.

Daisy exposes the basis of the political ideology of Republican VP nominee Paul Ryan. Ryan greatly admires Ayn Rand who was an author among other things and she thought selfishness was required for society to prosper and was the highest virture one could attain. An ardent atheist, Rand even went so far as to reject William F. Buckley's hand in friendship because he, like Ryan, was an avid Roman Catholic.

Finally they get into what would seem to be the final curtain in the battle to save the Mauldin open Air Market from the state DOT's plans to put in a turn lane where none is needed.

Romney, Rednecks & Honey Boo Boo

The Cable channel that brought you "Sarah Palin's Alaska" has sunk to a new low with a show called "Here comes Honey Boo Boo". The show exploits a little girl who is overweight and her "redneck" family. Daisy and the crew will also tackle Mitt Romney, healthcare, the trickle up economy and Occupy Greenville.

How to reach out to GPATS members and help protect the Mauldin Open Air Market

On today's show we said we would place the addresses of all the members of GPATS on the show's website so you can contact the members if you wanted to do so. The hope is that some of you will write these people and ask them to oppose any SC DOT plans to take Joel Ann Chandler's land away from her. Joel Ann owns the Mauldin Open Air Market, a land mark business on one of the main roads leading to Mauldin.

There are three "paragraphs" below. The first if a list of links to forms you must use to contact our state legislators. Apparently they don't want you to contact them directly, so you'll have to do this one at a time. I suspect that is designed to keep from the "regular people" from bothering them.

The second is a list of the email contacts for other GPATS members. Simply copy this list, and paste it into your email's "addresses" space.

The last is the basic message we hope to get to GPATS members. Simply copy the paragraph below the list of addresses, paste it into the body of the legislative contact form or the body of your email, make any changes you want to make, and hit "send". To get more details on GPATS' plans for the Mauldin Open Air Market, click here. To read what Daisy has written about the situation, at her blog. All links will open in a new tab or page automatically.

Dear GPATS Member,

I am writing you today to ask you to oppose any plans proposed by the Department of Transportation or GPATS staff which would put the Mauldin Open Air Market at risk by using eminent domain to seize Joel Ann Chandler's land for a proposed turn lane. The turn lane would serve a very limited purpose, while the entire community benefits from the Mauldin Open Air Market. A community land mark known far and wide, the market serves as a place where customer and producer meet, with Joel Ann and her staff as the perfect go-between. Please respect her property rights, and be wiser with our tax dollars. Leave her land exactly where it belongs, in her family.

Yours,

A Voter

Chick-Fil-A, Jack Schaap & GPAT's abuse of power

Tune in 9:00 AM EST

On this week's episode of The Daisy Deadhead Show, Daisy and Gregg talk about the boycott of Chick-Fil-A and traditional marriage.

Who is Jack Schaap? He is not another preacher in trouble over having sex with a young member of his flock is he? Rev. Jack Schaap pastors the Independent Fundamentalist Baptist Church, and Hyles-Anderson College and pictures found on his cell phone may bring him down.

Finally we go back and discuss GPATS' plan to grab Joel Ann Chandler's land away from her to create a turn lane where none is needed.

Colorado Shootings, The good, bad and ugly of the Olympic Games

As the Olympic Games get going in London, Daisy and Gregg discuss the legacy of past Olympic Games. From the heroic stand taken by John Carlos, Tommie Smith and Peter Norman in 1968 to the killing of Israeli athletes in 1972 to the taxpayer funded venues which rot from Beijing to Athens, The Daisy Deadhead Show looks at things a little bit differently.
