I heard something on the radio this morning about how 2 of the 6 stations have taken them off? I did not catch the details.
Sorry if this is a repost.

It would be pretty surprising if it is dead already. The lefties who sponsored it were committed to keeping it alive at least until the November elections.

At least it is drug free.

Two stations down and four to go.
"STATION OWNER CLAIMS: AIR AMERICA 'BOUNCES CHECK'; LIBERAL RADIO NET TAKEN OFF IN LOS ANGELES, CHICAGO AFTER ONLY TWO WEEKS
Wed Apr 14 2004 16:18:43 ET
After just two weeks on the air, Air America Radio, the fledgling liberal talk-radio network featuring Al Franken and Janeane Garofalo, appears to have encountered serious cash-flow problems.
The CHICAGO TRIBUNE is developing a story, insiders tell DRUDGE, on how the network was pulled off the air this morning in Chicago and Los Angeles, the network's second- and third-largest markets, because, the owner of both stations said, the network bounced a check and owes him more than $1 million! A charge the network strongly denies.
A Chicago source familiar with the situation said a Multicultural representative showed up at WNTD's offices Wednesday morning, kicked out Air America's lone staffer overseeing the network's feed to the station from New York, switched over to a Spanish-language feed, and changed the locks on the doors...
Air America filed a complaint Wednesday in New York state Supreme Court charging Multicultural with breaching their contract and seeking an injunction to force Multicultural to restore the Air America broadcast on both stations."

Chalk one up for the hispanic community!

maybe they can get a government grant?

They already have two govt. funded media outlets...do they really need a third?
-
well... if it's for a liberal cause then no amount of other peoples money is too much to spend.
lazs

Fact is that AAR is back in Chicago and will be in LA soon too.
Another fact is that there was no bounced check. That is your right leaning spin put on the story by the source.
All in all, the RW reaction to this incident is rather amusing to sit back and watch.
Why all the hoopla if you don't even listen, or is it that you just don't want the other side to air their views?

Explain the current deficit. Without using your son to beat someone up if you can.

aren't we spending a lot of money on a military operation? I believe that protecting our interests is the only thing that our government should be spending money on. I believe that if we could only do that and get rid of all the social/ist entitelments we would be better off.

Lazs, I've met Mr Lars - I'd suggest your son arrive with an ambulance so he has a ride to the hospital afterwards.

Both stations are back up - Chicago and LA - 10 more stations by the end of the month.
they stream online, with millions of unique hits each day. Air America broke Real Audio records for volume of users.

Huh? What violence?
What are you trying to say?
Cutting off the freeloaders from a trough financed by the money extorted from the productive people is Nazi now?

Well Rip I own my business, so I work for each of my clients, and I have had rich clients as well as poor. Their money spends the same.
I am not rich. I receive zero corporate welfare. I employ several people.
How again does it work that we create jobs by giving money to big corporations?
-
hmmm... iron.. my son is bigger than that. A lot bigger.
also.. according to the charts it seems that the increases all came from defense and something called "911 response" so... seems that they justified increases considering the situation.
As for "corprate welfare" depends.. need to take it on a case by case but there is plenty of room for cuts. Is farming susidies corprate welfare for instance? Tax breaks are not welfare in my opinion. Taking peoples taxes and giving them to others is.
The democrats take my taxes and give em to the worthless partiers and druggies down the street. Would 100 times more like em to cut IBM's taxes instead. Any person who works for a living is probly a stockholder in some "corporations" and benifiets from "corprate wellfare" I see no benifiet in being fleeced to pay for the worthless people.

Hey Lazs, maybe you should edit that threat to me you posted before someone decides to take action.
That kind of crap doesn't belong here.

Iron, he can't put the kids socks on properly, therefore he will easily kick lazs' son's arse. if not i'll send my Daughter in she'll both their arses. I save my son for the heavy work.
-
Oh comeon lars... it was a joke. My son is very large and lives in the same town as you... hippieville... but.. He is as mellow as anyone I know. He is extremely slow to anger and would never hurt anyone unless he was attacked. Get a grip... you live in aptos fer chrissakes.... there hasn't even been a face slapped in what? a decade or so?
lazs
-
strk... Hmm.. I was a contractor and never worked for anyone who wasn't working themselves. They may have varied greatly in income but... they all coulda used a tax break. How can you work for someone who has no income?
When a person makes nothing...yes ZERO and gets a "tax credit" then that is wrong.

Ok, lacking a retraction from you I'll accept this in place of a smiley at the end of your unveiled threat.
You should be more careful in the future though, you could find yourself in dire straits legaly.
-
Hehe, my son is pretty easy going too. He's only about 5'11" and 220-230 but it's all muscle. He probably can't put his own socks on right Storch. ;)
-
Yeah... my son went through that weight lifting stage when he played football. He is 6'2 or so and 250. I watched him do bench press reps with 300 lbs... ten at a time.
lars... what? did you just threaten to sue me? Oh right.... yer from aptos. sheesh... liberals... what a bunch of babies. I think that everyone on the board got that it was a joke except you. Even taking into consideration that you were the one "threatened".... you overreacted... first you said "bring it on" then you did a 180 and started whining...
maybe it was a poor joke to use on sensitive people... But...
I can't help but feel that you weren' t really scared or offended just looking for an excuse to act rightously offended in the same way the PC police (oddly enough, liberals too) do.

sheesh lars, ever heard of humor? don't go ask your wife or civil partner about it, they won't have a clue either.

Alright, you guys have forced me to do this, my grandkids can beat up your grandkids, here's the rest:

This is the way Reps take personal responsibility?
You were wrong in the content of your post, admit it and move on.

At this point Iron I concede, our first grandchild is still inutero. the blessed event to occur in October of this year.
Lovely family BTW. Is that your Daughter? I can't (don't know how to) post photos on the BB, not really sure I want to learn how to.
However my cat can kick your dog's arse. :)

Hehe, my wife Storch, I'll pass along your little lie, women are so gullible. ;)

Works like a charm, every time.:aok

Nice looking family AKiron! The red eye effect on your dog kinda creeps me out tho.

That is true (first graf)
Im not against tax credits to benefit people with kids. Maybe Im biased because i have a couple.
I dont mind paying my fair share of taxes. I think it is patriotic to do so. But I demand that the system be fair. People who are just getting by could use a tax break, sure. BUt lowering their federal income tax isnt enough, because the other payroll taxes make up a bigger portion anyway.
And a guy making a half mil a year is not going to "need" an extra 30k. That money would be better used building a highway, a school, buying part of an F-18, or making it so the guy who is just getting by can pay no tax at all. The Common Good.
This is the greatest country in the world, no doubt, and the folks who are rich need to remember that when it comes time to pay the tax man. Paying taxes is our duty, and as Will Rogers said - just thank God you arent getting all the government you pay for

The Common Good.
year, right, common good. Funny definition of common you have here. One dude pays nothing, the other one pays for both of them, all this for "common" good. That's rich. Common to whom?
What happened to property rights?

Nothing happened to property rights. You just have no idea what they are, obviously.
Nothing else in your post merits any response

He may not "need" that 30K, but the economy does. Forcing him to send it to the Feds is just like burning it. His money can create jobs, so long as the Feds don't spend it for him.

except that you see no problem in taking someone's property and giving it to someone else.
Other than that property rights are intact of course.
You just have no idea what they are, obviously.
is your labor and productivity and the resulting income your property, or do they belong to the government?

strk... I believe people with children should get and even bigger tax break too but...
give me a list of all the things we spend money on and I will cross out at least half of em.. I will pay my fair share too but it should be about a third or less of what it is now..
As for roads.... we spend 34 cents or so per gallon on tax for "roads" if we actually hired someone and payed em half that we would be able to redo every road in America in a couple af years... Schools? are you kidding? Vouchers would cost half as much and give twice the education for the buck.
Name one thing the government does efficiently besides create waste? We need a central government for the protection of the country and constitution. We do not need to redistribute the wealth. For instance... you may get a "child" tax credit but people who have never made a cent get "tax credits" every year... this is plain theft... the government is taking my, and your tax money and giving it away to people because they make less than we do..
I am all for charity... I probly give a couple of percent of my pay to charity every year.. I pick ones like salvation army that have allmost no waste and ignore ones like the red cross and such that are about 70% waste or more.

It's always much easier to get indignant rather then defend questionable views, when someone challanges them.
