Casual Friday! Cliff Schecter & Tom Scharpling

March 9, 2012

Friday’s here!  Joining Sam to bat around the week’s news, show favorite Cliff Schecter from Libertas LLC (@cliffschecter).  And from the Best Show on WFMU, making his debut appearance on the Majority Report, Tom Scharpling (@scharpling) has our movie recommendations.   Jimmy Reefercake (@jimmyreefercake) chimes in with a song. And a surprise call from  Playboy, Penthouse and Hustler model Sydney Moon (@SydneyMoon) (and avid Majority Report listener) with her unique perspective on porn and politics.  Click thru for links.  Use this post as today’s thread.

Cliff and Sam talk about Ohio; the state of the Republican party there and the efforts by Governor Kasich to destroy the Republican brand.  Check out Cliff’s article, Barack Obama’s BFFs.  And of course they address Attorney General Holder’s justification of the Obama Administration’s policy of targeting Americans abroad for assassination.   Tom Scharpling walks down memory lane with Sam, recommending Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore and Facing Ali.  Check out trailers below.
