Liberal talk radio is pulled after just two weeks
 
(This is how the UK press reported this story)

Air America, the left-wing talk radio network that began broadcasting just
two weeks ago to counter the conservative right's dominance of the AM dial,
was reeling yesterday after its service was taken off the air in Chicago and
Los Angeles, two of its biggest markets.

The interruption appeared to be the result of a contract dispute between Air
America and its owner, MultiCultural Radio Broadcasting. MultiCultural's
chief executive said the radio network owed him $1m (£560,000) for a bounced
cheque.

Air America, meanwhile, complained that it had been the victim of a
"despicable act" that violated its contractual agreements. The network,
which has expanded from six affiliates to 16, strongly denied suggestions
that it was running out of money.

The fracas was highly disruptive for the new network as it seeks to build a
core audience and a steady flow of advertising revenue. The 17-hour-a-day,
five-day-a-week talk station features entertainers such as Al Franken,
actress Janeane Garofalo, and rap artist Chuck D.

But news that it had run into problems was greeted with glee by conservative
hosts on other stations, who have been the butt of countless jokes and
political hostilities on Air America.

Rush Limbaugh, the godfather of right-wing talk radio, likened Air America's
outlets to "1,000-watt blowtorches". Sean Hannity, one of the most
aggressive conservative voices on radio and television, mockingly suggested
that the only way liberals and left-wingers could secure a place on the
airwaves was if they were subsidised by the government.

The dispute with MultiCultural, meanwhile, headed straight to the State
Supreme Court in New York, where Air America is seeking an emergency order
to put it back on the air. In its court filing, it alleged that
MultiCultural had gratuitously closed down the Chicago station - where it
said there was no dispute - and changed the locks on the station doors to
"gain unfair leverage" in a financial disagreement going on in Los Angeles.

The LA dispute, meanwhile, centred on a tussle over air time between Air
America and an unconnected Spanish-language service - characterised by Air
America as a straight contractual disagreement that should go to arbitration
before pulling the plug.

Air America's chairman, Evan Cohen, called MultiCultural's behaviour
"disgraceful". "To shut off a broadcast that listeners rely on without
warning and in the middle of discussions is the height of irresponsibility
and a slap in the face of the media industry," he said.

They've already got a TRO in hand that will put them back on in Chicago

Because there are more issues to settle WRT to the L.A. station's contract,
that will take a few more days.

Really? I saw that one... didn't hear any put-on accents like they have in
"Fargo", which was OK, but strange in the Coen Brothers sense of strange.
Actually, I think the best Coen Bros. movie was "Oh Brother, Where Art

(The following is a public service announcement from the Minnesota
Department of Public Health).

Lutefisk (n., from Norwegian, "Lye Fish") (I am NOT making this up!) for
those of you who aren't married to a Norwegian, was a way of preserving
Atlantic cod in pre-refrigeration days-- i.e., placing layers of fish in
barrels filled with layers of caustic soda to preserve it for a long while--
then it was rinsed very well and then cooked to... umm... well, suffice to
say, lye has a way of breaking down the proteins in the fish so that it
becomes pliant... e.g., gelatinous... then it is served with butter and/or
cream sauce, depending on where your ancestors were from. I've had it once
and it tastes like fish, but the consistency is ungodly.

Nowadays, you can only find lutefisk in two places-- Ingebretsen's
Scandinavian Market on East Lake Street in Minneapolis (surrounded by
Mexican and Middle Eastern markets whose owners have no doubt complained to
the city council about the awful smell) and in your grandma Lena's kitchen
at Christmas.

I've lived long enough to realize that every culture has at least one
culinary perversity that usually gets dragged out around major holidays and
eaten to remind the younger generation of how difficult their ancestors had
it.

Now, I don't know about you, but there is just something that is inherently
wrong in thinking that someone can, and should, eat a fish that's been
soaked in drain cleaner for nine months, no matter how nicely you dress it
up. Not that my ancestors cornered the market on great cuisine (world's
shortest book: "Great Chefs of Ireland") but hey, even I have my limits.

It was okay, IMO, not nearly one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. I
don't have an accent like that. I definitely hear a difference between
northern Minnesotans and Twin Citians though, and it's the northern MN
accent that gets made fun of in the movies.

Well, that's because Hinckley is practically a suburb of the Cities now,

their caramel rolls that are worth exiting I-35 for if you're not going to

Yes it does take some practice. A friend in 'sconny showed me. If you fish
for anything other than northers or sunnies in wisconsin they look at you

Groan! I got indigestion just from visiting that website!! *URP*

Of course, if you put one of these in the microwave oven, you might as well
toss the oven, because you'd never get the smell out. Seriously.

Twenty bucks would be well worth it.
