Did they make payroll today?
The continual stream of not just bad news, but horrific news about AA is a true pleasure to watch and read.

Liberals dream of a world in which everyone has health insurance coverage, and no one has to pay for it. This was their attempt at making the dream come true.
As usual for the Left, this attempt did not succeed -- but the plan is still a good plan, it just has to be implemented correctly!

The employees should be grateful that by taking their money out for the health care they at least had good intentions as a liberal should.

"Did they make payroll today?" On another thread to day a FReeper asked: "Air America has Fans?"
Reply: "Yes, apparently there was not enough money in the budget for Air Conditioning."

Remember the initial reports that they had $30 million in the bank to start this thing?..well, that was obviously false..this was a shoestring operation from the onset. No one was willing to commit serious money. They just hoped to keep it running through the election..another venue to attack Bush and the GOP..
Next to go..Gore's network..

"if Air America also neglected to pay the I.R.S. the withholding taxes it deducted from employees' paychecks, as they did with health insurance, they would be "toast."
Well, here's a "TOASTY" bump to Err America!

Frankly I'm surprised and amazed that this operation could have possibly been run so badly.
There are plenty of successful left-wing businessmen out there. And they must have known that the operation would bleed money for at least a year, even if it were successful.
This makes the proprietors of Salon.com look like geniuses.

I'm still at a loss why they think a liberal radio network will succeed; the competition they face from the nightly news and print media would tear them to pieces. Why bother to tune into a radio station that merely parots what Peter Jennings said last night?
I just wish they were wasting more money funding this thing than apparently they are. A horrible shame.

It's astounding that their radio show isn't working out. I would have thought that there's a huge market. Who doesn't like listening to obnoxious liars spew out kooky accusations? Beats me.

"The devotion of liberals to health care coverage for all is so well-known that it is inconceivable that this could be deliberate. Incompetence, not criminality, must be at work. "
Strange jab by the author. Is he not for health care?

Sounds like how a bunch of commies/progressives would run a business.

SchadenfreudeReally! I once had a super socialist, Democrat friend who ran a pre-school and she did not pay the IRS the payroll taxes due on her employees. The Feds nailed her, she then hit me up for a loan to cover her past due taxes. I asked her "Where do you think tax money comes from?" She replied: "The government and the rich". She was no dumb kid, either. She was over 40 and had a BS degree.

The only time "spectacular and "Air America" will be used in the same sentence.
