Just a reminder

The liberal talk radio network "Air America Radio" is supposed to hit the airwaves in three markets at noon today.

As I've already mentioned, this is not a radical or progressive outfit; in fact, they prefer to describe themselves as moderate and "leaning a little to the left." Still, it's better than the radio playing nothing but Rush and The Ranters.

Supposedly, they're going to be streaming the audio on the internet at airamericaradio.com. It might be worth a listen.

Update: I listened for a while, caught the end of Al Franken's interview with ex-Senator Bob Kerrey, now of the 9/11 commission and the beginning of Michael Moore's appearance. It was okay, better than the typical boring policy wonk crap our side usually thinks is entertaining radio. There was also a bit about supposedly having Ann Coulter "accidentally" locked in the Green Room. It fell flat, I think. I'll listen more.

One thing I have to find out in listening to the other hosts is what kind of style they bring. I maintain that what the network needs is a real flame-thrower. Someone who will call the bastards bastards, the creeps creeps, the liars liars, without qualifying, without apology, and without ever backing down. Someone who won't stop to defend unless it's part of an attack. Take no prisoners, scorched-Earth advocacy.

That's what Ann Coulter freely admits to being. That's what every movement needs: Someone on point. It's way past time we had one. And no, Al Franken does not qualify.
