    A few thoughts from AAR member Lee Dunkelberg... Air America filing bankruptcy did little here locally except change the play of a rather nice article The Dallas Morning News was preparing on our efforts to get AAR back on the air here.
    The news item you can read here has a great tone and balance. It was great.
    The only disappointment was that we did not get our own day in the sun.
    Meanwhile, out Where the West Begins, AAR's filing made front page of The Fort Worth Star- Telegram business section (click here). In a box with a big picture of Al Franken, The basic facts are given out fairly. The only quote in the piece is from a right-wing radio chowderhead, who will remain nameless (and will not face charges in connection with his sex tourism).
    Of course, there were plenty of yucks from the primates and invertebrates of right-wing radio. However, they are not worth listening to on a good day, much less a bad one.
    When you are preyed upon by the fans of the convicted felons, perverts and pedophile defenders on the radio dial, just give them the old Mark Twain line. "The report of my death was an exaggeration."

    However, that might require too much explaining for zittoheads, who probably think Mark Twain is "that cop in the O.J. trial who got a raw deal".
    Just ask them how come admitted crooked lawmaker Bob Ney is still getting a check from the taxpayers and how just much will Mark Foley's pension be?
