If you're as turned off by the Inauguration as we are, there is relief at Air America Radio. You can listen on the Internet it doesn't broadcast in your area. And the good news to report is that Air America Radio has turned itself into a success:

Coinciding with the presidential ceremonies, Air America will launch its brash Bush-bashing talk-radio format onto the airwaves in President Bush's backyard -- Washington, D.C. -- as well as Detroit and Cincinnati, bringing its total nationwide reach to 45 markets.

    Did anyone else see the dust up between Al Franken and Bill Oreilly on CSPAN. Fun stuff! Franken talks for 30min (15 minutes longer than he was spose to), then when Oreilly starts, Franken keeps chiming in. Oreilly gets all pissed and starts screaming ‘shut up, shut up”. Franken screams back ‘This ain’t your show Bill”. Really; fun stuff.

    the problem with this inauguration is that it is just too darn easy. like picking low hanging fruit.

    pigwiggle: I saw the dust-up and it really was hilarious. I watch O'Reilly from time to time still, dunno why, but I do. It was awesome, though, watching the smug SOB lose his temper.

    i have enjoyed some shows on air america (we get it here in seattle) but at the same time... a lot of the content is the mirror image of the stuff on the right wing whacko stations (like kvi here). so much shouting, hyperbole, and totally outrageous inflammatory nonsense... only slanted toward the left as opposed to the right. personally, i dislike the style and format of a lot of 'political commentary' shows.

    Franken and Garafalo are too over the top for my taste. I enjoy Randi Rhodes's show though, she gets her point across well, without resorting to the scream tactics of some of the others. Glad they are still around though, it's nice to hear some liberal commentary. Without Air America, we'd only have NPR to compete with the Rush's and Savidge's.
