Still no live stream at Air America Radio...

I predict that the stream will crash if they expect to turn it on immediately when the Al Franken show starts. The rush of demand of opening new streams is much harder on a server than a bunch of people camping out listening to Muzak. They really needed to go "live" with a recorded message and Muzak by now.

1. The site says 12 noon

I read the message to mean that streaming won't start until Franken's show.

2. Try WLIB's online stream

http://www.wlib.com

They're playing protest rock muzak and sound clips right now, and rebuffering a lot, but it's that's understandable.

3. Only 4 stations???

30 million dollars to launch this and all we get is 4 stations?
Even Limbaugh started with 58. Unbelievable

6. That's apples and oranges

Limpballs started with one station, as any dedicated Dittohead should know. It was in Seattle. When his program was syndicated the equivalent of Karl Rove got him on 58 existing stations. Because it doesn't work out have a few hours of liberal programming sandwiched in between flaming fascist programming the O'Franken Air American folk wisely decided to purchase stations - thus, your 30 mill.

Ditto?

9. ad "hominems"? No,

you tried to compare the Air America venture to Rush Limpballs and I tried to explain to you, as simply as is possible, that they were entirely different ventures.

I'm surprised that you would take any of that personal, I was only using the vernacular of Rush as you originally made the comparison to him.

Get therapy is a personal attack and not appreciated.

5. Listening to Portland station here in South Carolina

I don't know what I am going to do for lunch today. I'm really excited about this and don't want to come in late to the show. Think I might talk my co-worker into eating lunch early today so I can be back in time for O'Franken.

14. Sorry, no.

They will have their own archives. I asked and was politely told "No."
