I went to the Dark Side and bought

an XM portable satellite radio to listen to Air America while I am out and about.

Haven't played with it much yet and would appreciate what others have to say about portable satellite radio.

I know XM is owned by the evil Darth Clear Channelus but I've got to have my Air America. There is no Air America affiliate in St Louis yet.

1. Think of it as a broader view of the Force

You are learning well, my son.

4. Yes, master...must stay away from the dogmatic narrow

view of the Force.

2. Rest easy, Clear Channel does NOT own XM.

They own a very minor chunk of stock in XM (less than 2 percent last time I checked). In fact, Clear Channel has heavier ownership in local stations that carry Air America than they do in XM.

3. We have XM. It's great.

Strangely, I can't listen to Air America any more than I could listen to Rush Limbaugh. My blood pressure skyrockets. :shrug:
