Does anybody have a picture of Al Franken? I was watching the movie "Trading Places" last night, and there is an Al Franken in there, playing a dopey baggage handler. Jus' wunnered if it is the same person.

Can you say "Liberal?" I knew you could.
Isn't this the very essence of an evolution from a liberal to a conservative ?
"When you believe you're doing work for the greater good, you don't question as much," says Javier Saade, a former Air America executive vice president. "People never questioned the curves and obstacles on the road. People just said, 'We're on the road.' "
I thought this pretty much sums up the whole leftist philosophy, not just their latest radio misadventure.
Two things jump out at me that define liberals to a "T". The part about the man from LA saying it was a great party until he found out he was paying for it and the Guam based entrepeneurs. Why is it that they are not US based? Could it be for the same tax breaks that they want to take away?
This place must be ultra-hip, since I've never heard of it.
But seventy bucks a head isn't bad.
Yeh, right. In some cultures its members will blindly give their money away and sign their names to blank checks as long as they're told it's for "the greater good", while in other cultures its members ask questions about where and how their money is being spent. Mr. Cohen and Mr. Sorenson thought that they were gathering funds in the former culture when in reality they were in the latter...
Would this be the same Durst who is believed to have killed at least two wives and one neighbor, and who is also a cross-dresser? Well, if so, that makes sense...just the kind of people one would expect Err America to attract.
According to Drudge's recap of this article, at Air America's launch party, red-white-and-blue vodka martinis were served to limo liberal guests such as Tim Robbins and Yoko Ono. That seems to me a perfect metaphor for Air America (it even explains their deceptively patriotic name): a lethal cocktail artificially disguised to look pro-American, but actually containing the main export of the old USSR; and if you swallow enough of it, you'll lose your ability to think rationally.
What this all boils down to is this: The libs who came up with this deluded themselves (being delusional liberals) that our country was just chomping at the bits for their message. They truly believed that fly-over country just needed to hear it from the mouths of pseudo-intellectuals like Al Franken, and they would rush over to the left causing a groundswell of support, ousting Bush in November in the process. Stupidity, I know, but the key to remember here is that they truly believed it on their own minds. The 'money-men' probably figured out that they had a loser, and then decided to go with the 'cultural differences' (how friggin' lame is that?!?!) to justify their pull-out of the promised finances. Libs eat their own just as heartily as they do their enemy, so this is really no surprise. Death knell predicition: late August. They may try to hang on past the election, but if they are this much trouble so soon after start-up, they may just fold up shop and give up. Even the deluded libs see that Kerry is a poor candidate.
