from what i've seen, accountants are just bookkeepers and don't know from economics... they can tell you how much money your company is making or losing but don't have a clue as to why either happens.

That jumped out at me, too.
I guess when the promised funds looted from union pension funds didn't show up, AA had to resort to looting children's charities. Makes perfect sense to a liberal, I suppose.
Basically Leftists are cheap bastards who cycle money to themelves. A gives to B who gives to C who gives to A. It's the same freakin buck.
They are the cheapest when donating to causes but they want to be out in front to have their pictures taken. Case in point. Darryl Hannah, Danny Glover and company could have bought that plot of land in LA and donated it to the squatters. But no...
John Kerry gives a couple of hundred bucks to charity. He is worth a couple of hundred million.. And on and on.
Same with all the lefties. They tell us what is good for us and then they jet off to Europe in their private planes to ski and pat themselves on the back for being so courageous for helping the little guy. Then they tell us we need to raise gas prices to cut down on oil usage.
This guy is a fool. Err Amerika? He would have been better off starting up a Conservative station, competed with WABC and made some money. They just don't learn that the Marxist media is in a tail spin.
What else can you expect from a "woman" whose biggest claim to fame was urinating in a punch bowl at her company's Christmas party?

"Sheldon Drobny thinks Err America can be a commercial success. Delusions of grandeur?"
It could have been a success. He made a couple of small mistakes.
1. The Marxist Media is in decline. Hiring Marxists to run your station doesn't help. Plus he might as well of called the station 24 hours of Hate Bush radio. They would have gotten more listeners. Or Air Commy.
2. Throwing money at a problem only creates a more expensive problem. Ideas solve problems. Fortunately for us the RATS have no ideas. In addition, the RATS who he went to for money know this already. Their Conservative accountants tell them it is a bad investment.
3. On Air personalities need just that. Randi Rhodes is a skank ho from Brooklyn. She was when I was growing up with her. Al Franken is not funny. Never has been. His partner was funnier. They should have given Davis his own show show.
Other than that, he did ok.
Must have been tough competing with NPR for both listeners.
"Anything, Anywhere, Anytime, Professionally."
Like Federal Express, but heavily armed.
LOL - this rant is soooooooo funny....
Yeah, I'm with you. Who would have ever thought Hollywood liberals would be a bunch of self-absorbed narcissists? Never would have seen it...
"....many criticisms have been directed at me for the “problems” that Air America has had during its “birth pangs.”
Yeah that's the problem after 5 years, "birth pangs".
Hadn't heard that.
No. It isn't and it doesn't. No wonder you're a leftist. Learn some economics. Learn why capitalism allows people to create wealth. Learn about comparative advantage and the power of the division of labor. You need to read some books before you write any, and before you sink any more money into such a counterproductive project as Air America.
Not only that, but I have seen posted here a few times that Bill Maher and Ann dated some years back.
Perhaps that may have something to do with him booking her on his show and not the AAR fellow.
Here is an excerpt from a recent Palm Beach Post article about Randi:
"She is just low-class," says Linda Marx, widow of the late WJNO talk-show host Jack Cole.
Marx recalls an incident at a Christmas bash the couple threw in 1999, when an inebriated Rhodes squatted over the Christmas tree as a party antic. Rhodes admits she had a few martinis, but insists she didn't urinate.
"I pretended," she says.
Marx indicates otherwise. "I'm just happy the tree was on tile and not carpet," she says.
Real classy "lady", huh?
"and is a member of Beta Gamma Sigma, an honorary fraternity"
Is this like being a graduate of Telegraph and Bancroft Avenue in Berkely, Ca?
Former address, "people's park".
The hell you say.
"As far as I know, business administration is as far from economics as anything could possibly be. "
Well, you're. Economics is integral to a degree in BA.
Did he ever give back the money to the orphan kids from the ghetto??
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
Sounds that way to me. Hmmm.
