I had no idea what it was but since he was posting it everywhere,  I found one of the rare occasions to use the "report to moderator" function.

Was that some kind of teenager? Male you think? I thought only females would get that obsessed with something on TV

It is with the greatest regret, on behalf of our Board, that we must announce that Air America Media is ceasing its live programming operations as of this afternoon, and that the Company will file soon under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code to carry out an orderly winding-down of the business.

The very difficult economic environment has had a significant impact on Air America's business. This past year has seen a "perfect storm" in the media industry generally. National and local advertising revenues have fallen drastically, causing many media companies nationwide to fold or seek bankruptcy protection. From large to small, recent bankruptcies like Citadel Broadcasting and closures like that of the industry's long-time trade publication Radio and Records have signaled that these are very difficult and rapidly changing times.

Swell. Hope you have a King Air. We're pretty much spread out over the country so as to improve our chances of surviving any retaliatory attacks.

If you're near Az. I'll put you in our upcoming video series.

Wait a sec. As a former military guy, don't you have access to some free rides in the back of a C-130 or something? This may actually work.

I like the idea of showing up for the board meeting and or court appearance in some heavy armor.

Well I live in Florida so I'm a wee bit out of the way for AZ. I am heavily armed though. I had a several hundred dollar a month C&R firearms license habit at one time. I do know several NG guys down at the local armory and could maybe procure the use of some APC's. :-)

If you don't mind leasing I just happen to know a Husband and Wife team who are both multi engine certified and fly around a corporate jet that gets leased out when they don't need it.

If it had a loading ramp for the Triumph, I'd be ecstatic. But it sounds good in any event. Find out the rates per hour and I'll send to our legal department for approval.

Hmmm. I see you have a caduceus as an avatar. Hmm. I'm sure I'm not the only board member who might need a perscription for something or other....

Oh. And bring the defibrillator. I'm planning on some pretty racy in flight entertainment.

I haven't looked at the threads from the DUmp about this , but I'm guessing more calls for the Fairness Doctrine to be reinstated.

Would be hard to push that through with the recent SCOTUS ruling on free speech.
