Boggling, isn't it, folks. Are you sure you haven't claimed that you had worked hard so that you could listen to radio whenever you wanted? Well I can! But I in no way consider myself to be retired! I'm sure you'll offer us a creative definition of not being retired. Creative? Nothing creative about it! I'm not retired Fat Boy! I'm just not currently working! If I was retired I'd certainly be expecting a pension check! Or Social Security! I get none of that! And i remembered that I was dealing with someone who makes most lawyers look honest in comparison. You've had experiences with lawyers? Tell us about t! LOL! |

Perhaps at that time I was actually employed! You go dig up the post! I'm sorry, I didn't understand. That's becoming evident Fat Boy! Sounds like the incoming funds may be lower than what your used to. I now understand why you seem so grouchy. I certainly hope you haven't had anymore problems with you house's heater, like you mentioned before... Oh no, that has indeed been fixed! Sorry, Steve. Ne need to be sorry for me Fat Boy! I'm doing just fine! It's you we're all worried about! |

However, I suspect that it is being backed financially by some deep pocketed extremists who have a socialist agenda that is more important to them than financial profits. Poor ratings, which are nearly certain, will have no bearing on the network's longevity. This is all theory, mind you,and only time will tell. snip The CEO is Mark Walsh and he plans on dumping money into it for three years see: http://www.broadcastingcable.com/art...op+of+the+Week &promocode=SUPP And this http://www.cmpa.com/FinancialTimes--March25.htm "Mr Walsh, a veteran of HBO, America Online and the Democratic National Committee, was volunteering for Democrat presidential contender John Kerry's campaign when he joined the radio network last autumn. While he has no formal ties with the Kerry camp, the "Bring it On!" slogan that Mr Kerry has adopted appears on some Air America posters." " The group has raised $25m in equity, mostly from wealthy individuals who, Mr Walsh said, made their investments "based on belief and business"." "A separate arm, called Equal Time, which has $30m in debt capacity, will acquire and operate radio stations. The group expects to lose money in its first two years and become profitable early in its third." ****************************** They are defiantly anti capitalistic and are communist. Don't worry about Franken or what he says worry about what the people supporting this effort want. I want to find out who these "wealthy individuals" are. I'll bet they are communists.

Is there any historical proof that Jesus existed? Not to detract from the above. There are very strange similarities to Osiris and others. Religion has a very long history. ========================================== Osiris: He came to fulfill the law. Called "KRST," the "Anointed One." Born of the virgin Isis-Meri on December 25th in a cave / manger, with his birth announced by a star and attended by three wise men. Earthly father named "Seb" (translates to "Joseph.") At age 12 he was a child teacher in the Temple and at 30 he was baptized, having disappeared for 18 years. Baptized in the river Iarutana -- the river Jordan -- by "Anup the Baptizer," who was beheaded. (Anup translates to John.) Traveled widely, taught men and "tamed them by music and gentleness, not by force of arms" [Plutarch] Performed miracles, exorcised demons, raised El-Osiris from the dead. Walked on water. Betrayed by Typhon, crucified between two thieves on the 17th day of the month of Athyr. Buried in a tomb from which he arose on the third day (19th Athyr) and was resurrected. His suffering, death, and resurrection celebrated each year by His disciples on the Vernal Equinox -- Easter. Called "The Way, the Truth, the Light," "Messiah," "god's Anointed Son,' the "Son of Man," the "Word made Flesh," the "word of truth." Expected to reign a thousand years. http://home.earthlink.net/~pgwhacker...ts.html#osiris |
N8KDV wrote: You are 100% correct. Air America at the present time is not driven by advertiser revenue. That may indeed change, time will tell. But if history holds true, Air America will fail. Or shift over to some kind of listener-supported model, which may be a more promising direction for them. The long term survival of any low-circulation political magazine, either on the left and the right, depends usually on a mix of some kind of foundation set up by a motivated jillionaire, a small amount of revenue from special-interest advertising, and annual or semi-annual appeals to subscribers. There's nothing wrong or un-American about it. The market is just bad at supporting predominantly political media. Right-wing talk radio is exceptional probably because the Rush Limbaugh phenomenon gave it enough momentum to become commercially viable. Randi Rhodes on Air America has survived on what I think is a commercial outlet for something like 9 years in southern Florida, so it can happen on the left, at least in specific markets. Larry |
