#3 Shipman: That's our mucky! He's giving 'em fits, lol. I wonder if Garafolo knows she looks like Special Ed in that helmet?

"Yay! Yay! It's great!"

#4 Is there an element of this project that is simply nostalgia for college. I'm sure that many of the headliners were college DJ's and remember the experience with fondness because it was social interaction for them without worrying about hygiene or facing rejection. If so, this attitude is reflected in the poor quality of the product.
I know that we should be happy that their endeavor is therapeutic for them, but I doubt that it will end up paying the bills. I base this statement only on the observation that ESPN has not yet dedicated a separate channel to highlight great performances in the Special Olympics. Air America as a business venture is kind of like MTV airing endless hours of Kayoke.

#5 I listened to the O'Franken Factor on XM radio on Monday. He had McCain in the studio and G. Gordon Liddy on the phone. Franken and Liddy were supposed to talk about guns, but Al being Al and G being G, they got distracted by stuff from Liddy's days in "the joint", mostly the definition of a "knockabout" (a ne'er do well non-violent criminal.) It was funny and unintentionally informative. Liddy said, "Bill O'Reilly can kiss my ass." The McCain interview was dull. They were bound and determined not to disagree with each other. Franken has a co-host whose sole function seems to be to keep him on schedule and make sure he spouts the party line periodically. I think she kicks him under the table. Franken is not vicious enough for them, he doesn't have the mean heart to do raw propaganda and actually listens instead of interrupting and spewing.

#7 Here's Sacred Cow Burgers's illustration of ARR's rubber check. Along with a portion of the Butcher's earlier comments: Seems that the Leftists are sticking to their tried-and-true formula: spend money they don't have and file lawsuits when they don't get their way. It just seemed fitting to depict Air America's rubber check as a packet of condoms. After all, Albert Liu (owner of Multicultural Radio Broadcasting) is probably feeling pretty screwed right about now.

#9 More folks hear about Air America through the media attention than actually listen to the show.

It is cheaper to keep the media hype going to promote the agenda than waste real money on actual broadcast time and content.

Works for me.

#14 Trust me on this one, M4D is a pro I've been tracking his weirdness from day 3... I still don't know who it is. At one point he was a multipersonality, say 5 or so.... then he became pure mucki. It ain't me babe.
