"When they pay you to hate this [Bush] administration and to expose the lies, it's the best job in the world," said Lizz Winstead, the former Minnesotan who has taken over as programming chief in addition to her five-day-a-week show."When they pay you to hate..."
It sucks to be you, Lizz.

You have to seriously suck to tank the ratings of a 250 watt blowtorch. It's estimated that in some markets, Air America's ratings are less than one listener per watt the station runs. If you could get 40 people in your house to watch a light bulb, it would actually be a more efficient use of energy than Air America (and much more entertaining).
Couldn't stop laughing at that one.

I thought you were trying to convey a certian enigmatic mood of tension and menace, fraught with ambiguity and nuance. Not that it was working, mind you. Sorry to hear it was just bad typing.

"250 watt blowtorch"
250 Watts isn't a blowtorch, it's not even a votary candle. More like a damp wick.

As an accountant I can tell you that it has long been debated: "How do you know at what point a company has gone bankrupt?"
The common consensus seems to be that you know when a company can no longer meet it's payroll. I would say that Air Head America came within a whisker of meeting that definition this past week.

>> ....when a company can no longer meet it's payroll.
Such was my instinct, but I'm no businessman. Thanks, very glad to hear this from a professional!

You give me entiely too much credit.
However,if there was the odd chance that I,a humble plebian could approach the level of nuance exibited by our mutual Junior Senator,I would tear the shift buttons off my keyboard and eat them.
I shall remain as un-kerry-ish as possible.

Our local station, one of 4 started broadcasting Air-Ab America. I listened for 5 mintues before I turned the no talent Grafalo off. They will not last long at all.
