Air America chaos
Drudge reports on an HBO special on the beginnings of Air America. The rule should be expanded:

It's npt pretty to watch how laws are made,
how hot dogs are made,
or how new radio networks are made.

The fact that AA is now apparently stable is a tribute to the work of the organization after a very bad start.

5. When is it on?
I've heard Franken say he became an involuntary investor when there was no $$$ so he worked for free.

I'm sure not everyone could do that - I sure as hell couldn't.

7. Drudge's latest Schadenfreudian Slip
I think AA is still on the air.

I still get it on my radio, if that's any indication.

What, anxiety over a new business venture, taking the risks of Free Enterprise to bring a product to consumers and to Create Values?

Naah, can't be. Everybody knows that real people get a huge, forgiveable loan from Daddy's friends. Just like Dubya did.

Of course, like Randi, Dubya likes to dress up in ladies' bedclothes and smoke, all the same. It's one of the perquisities of the job.

--p!

10. Somebody copy Drudge's screed here, please.
Edited on Wed Mar-23-05 11:11 AM by Touchdown
I would really like to know if, when I watch it next week, that those checks really bounced, and LA & Chcg wasn't run by a double dipping scheister like the radio hosts all said, as Mr. Closet Case/self hating whore is alleging and crowing about getting the scoop. If he's lying then this article will not exist next week.

Of course he says he obtained a "director's cut", which leaves him an out to cover his lie. He could just say that the broadcast version cut that part out.:eyes:

For once I agree with the tired old..."developing".

14. Franken said on his show that they thought there was enough
Edited on Wed Mar-23-05 11:16 AM by Pirate Smile
money to go either 1 or 3 (I can't remember which although I think it is 3)years without making money to get AAR off the ground but found out very quickly that there was only enough for a week or month (I think they found out when Chicago and LA went off the air). He said he became an involuntary investor because they couldn't pay his paycheck.

He said it on AAR. I didn't take notes, as you can tell by my paraphrasing since I'm not positive on the specifics he mentioned.

He said this within the past month or two, not during the time when it was happening.

15. Drudge should take a flying leap. Nothing in the beginning is smooth
if it is then it is either choreographed or fake.

I hate DRUDGE.

I'm sure that he and Gannon had an affair. Why won't he report on his man?
