I'm listening to Air America for the first time tonight.
I didn't get a chance to listen to it yesterday.

I'm listening to Randi Rhodes right now.

And all I can say is: I don't give a damn if there are any glitches. I don't give a damn whether Randi Rhodes is likable or not (I'm quite taken by her, actually.)

This is pretty amazing, folks. We have a voice in Air America. Think of it. Amidst the crap on CNN and MSNBC and CNBC...not to mention the obscenity that is Fox News...

We finally have a voice. It's nationwide. It's our voice.

This is history in the making. This is our moment.

1. All these excellent points,
seem to elude some on this board. It boggles the mind.

3. Yeah, pretty cool ain't it?
I mean, I have been trilled with folks like Peter Werbe, Mike Malloy, Amy Goodman et al, but they were folks you had to go out in search of.

Now, with AA, more people are likely to just stumble across them. :)

4. Right you are!
We need to support this network and hopefully, it will expand into other markets. We can take over. Keep listening and support the advertisers.

6. I was a huge skeptic
I have never been a fan of talk radio or even the idea of talk radio, but it is like having a "soundtrack" to DU while I post.

I am enjoying Randi too, she kicks ass.

8. It is sooo nice not to have to sit in front of a computer to listen
Just go to the radio turn it on and like magic there are sane reasonable people talking about real issues. Whoda thunk?

10. 'What is all this negative talk about Randi Rhodes?
I've heard her a few times and she is great! She knows how to give her insight very clearly and well.

If I were to guess I would say from what little I've heard tonight that Air America is going to blow the Right-Wing competition out of the water!!


OH , HO, HO!!! The "commercial" about high school dropouts was hilarious.

11. I completely agree
The little technical glitches don't bother me at all. I just love the chance to hear people talk about issues that for years have been limited to the Internet.
