Infinite MonkeysNo, really, I'm asking a serious question. Does anyone really care that Air America Radio seems to be built on a house of cards? Well, I guess Michelle Malkin and Brian Maloney do. And good for them. Somebody's gotta do it.
Yes, yes... I understand the scandal and the principle of the thing: Taxpayer dollars may have been misused. But should Americans care more or less about the misappropriation of a rather piddling amount of funds to a radio network nobody listens to?
Posted by AnonyMonkey at August 18, 2005 11:18 PMYep. As government boondoggles go, on a scale of zero to ten, zero meaning no scandal (the early and under-budget reconstruction of LA's freeways after the big earthquake), ten meaning metaphysical scandal (the New Deal and Great Society programs, the "Big Dig" in Boston), this one rates somwhere between a one and a two. Unnecessary hyperventilation over a non-story.
Not, in fact, even worth the time I wasted trying to sound like John McLaughlin.
