#1 Great thinkers have produced lengthy essays on "Why LLL's Hate Capitalism", but I think we have the answer right here: They hate it because they can't do it very well.

#2 They also apparently love featherbedding. My understanding is that this "network" has 100 employees! My radio friends tell me that this is an incredible number of people for the programming they offer.

No wonder they're burning cash so fast.

#4 On Evan Cohen from a Guam Pacific Daily News article about AAR:

Montvel-Cohen, who also worked as chief of staff for former Republican Sen. Tommy Tanaka, has been involved in several political issues on Guam, according to Pacific Daily News files.

In 1999, he testified in Superior Court during the legal challenge to the 1998 gubernatorial election. Montvel-Cohen had been hired by attorney Randall Cunliffe to dig deeper into a list of alleged illegal voters that had been presented as evidence by attorneys for losing candidate Joseph Ada.

A year later, Montvel-Cohen was chairman of "Concerned Citizens for Honesty and Integrity in Government," which collected and spent nearly $15,000 for several negative television and print ads about Democratic Sen. Ben Pangelinan and several Republican candidates.

#5 Whoa! How'd the tab get up to $8 million?!?
(Is that for primo pot and snacks?)

#6 First, why did they hire a Republican operative to run a left wing radio network in the first place? If true they are dumber than I thought.

Second, the $8 Million is because they need donut money to entice Michael Moore to be a guest.

#7 First, why did they hire a Republican operative to run a left wing radio network . .

Brock turned :

He wrote a book, "Blinded by the Right"

Converts to Dem are more dedicated than Dem by birth.

#9 So desperate that sources close to the company say that "Democratic heavyweights as Sen. Hillary Clinton, her husband, former President Bill Clinton and billionaire investor George Soros have been appraised of the money-raising efforts."

have "been appraised" LOL! In other words, they asked them for money but they said NO!

#12 Probably Air American was relying on a subsidy from the UN Oil for Food program.

#18 Air America forgot to put the wings on. You can't fly without wings. Also, they forgot the engines, propellers, and most important, the pilot. Their pilot, Al Frankendj, washed out.

#21 If Soros ponies up, how quick do you think that Al and Jeanie can smoke all that $8M with their 98 friends? They suck up cash fast. Is the UN involved in this?
