[history]
Salon.com -- the online magazine that made a name for itself covering President Clinton's dalliances in the White House -- still owes the White House for travel expenses during that administration... as well as this one.
But when the White House asked for its money again last week, Salon.com sent the administration a letter, saying -- "Salon has been incurring losses ... its accumulated deficit totals $86 million ... as of December 31st, 2003. ... [W]e cannot offer a full payment at this time, but would offer you the opportunity to settle all amounts owed by us."

are they in bankruptcy? If they are then take it, If they are not they get in writing it is a downpayment and suspend them until the ballance is paid.
How does an online service get 87 million in losses? What are they paying people?

I guess this fits the liberal motto, "always throw good money after bad." Should make them happy that tax dollars are finally involved in the Salon.com mess.
I don't know why they're still in business.

Guesses on other threads say that rich liberals want to keep Salon around until the election, then let it die. Salon still spends more than it makes from subscriptions. I don't know how their creditors haven't come after them by now, it's not like they're going to come back.

That's not the White House Travel Office's money, IT'S OUR TAX MONEY.
Make the scum pay in full, selling off servers, etc. if need be!
