I hope so. It kills me that these flybynight radical fundy churches can broadcast all day long with no commercials, yet something as important as Air America, the ONLY counterweight to corporate conservative radio, is pulled for lack of advertisers (I assume).

It was bound to happen.

So, how much money did you donate to them? :-)

I even found myself missing springer this morning, after listening to king pig on 750 and whatserface on 920.

I'm going to miss Rachel Maddow, Randi and Mike Malloy the most. Fucking sucks. Corporate america wouldn't touch air america with a ten foot pole, becuase we are living in the early stages of a fascist state. Air America was a lone voice of truth against the corporate coup d'etat. This really fucking sucks.

Yeah we're waiting for another hammer to drop and I'm afraid my position won't survive another reduction. I'm keeping my eyes and ears open though.

Bless you and your position - may you be found to be indespinsible.
