Marriage Equality in SCOTUS and Fracking Redux [IS]
April 26, 2015First, I preview the case that the Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments on this week that will likely decide whether Gays and Lesbians will be allowed to marry one another throughout all 50 states.
Second, I pickup on a conversation with a caller from Friday where we discuss Fracking, Climate Change, and money in politics.
EARTHQUAKE! [IS]
April 23, 2015Fracking is very dangerous…
The U.S. Geological Survey released a report this week linking the oil and gas industry’s practice of “waterwaste disposal” to the sharp increase of earthquakes in Oklahoma.
According to a story by Yahoo News’ Michael Walsh, “The seismicity rate in Oklahoma is about 600 times greater than it was before 2008, around the time dewatering started in the state.
Just last year, 585 magnitude 3+ earthquakes hit Oklahoma — compared with 109 in 2013.”

If Hillary Clinton Must Disclose Donors, Shouldn't Jeb Bush Do the Same? [IS]
April 22, 2015The GOP complained about Hillary Clinton’s lack of transparency with the Clinton charity. Yet, they make no mention of Jeb Bush’s massive, anonymous, and tax-exempt PAC. Hypocrisy at it’s finest!
I explain why each problem is not ‘equally bad,’ yet we can eliminate both of them with REAL campaign finance reform. I also tangle with a caller who says he has a problem with Hillary’s lack of transparency, yet he openly states that he’s completely fine with all political donations being made in secret. Yes, really!!
Why was Freddie Gray even arrested? [IS]
April 21, 201525-year-old Freddie Gray of Baltimore, an African American male, died of a severe spinal cord injury he sustained in Police custody after being arrested. But, what is not getting a lot of attention is why Baltimore Police arrested him in the first place. According to reports, Gray saw the police, and then started running. Not necessarily recommended, but also not illegal, or grounds alone to stop someone.
