I caught a headline that's left me smiling from ear to ear. Here's that headline: Air America Stiffs Franken
If that doesn't put a smile on your face, then get back over to DU or Kos. Here's some of the details to the article:
Al Franken confirms that, once again, the troubled network is facing a serious cash crunch. "I don't know if that's true or not," Franken tells Radar when asked about the bankruptcy report. "We do know that there have been cash-flow problems. I haven't been paid in a while. Like, there's no cash flowing to me."
Awww. Ain't that just too bad? I can't tell you just how many tears I'll shed for Mr. Franken.
Norman Wain, a Cleveland-based former radio executive and investor in Air America, says he hadn't heard about any financial difficulties. "I know nothing about it," he says. "They don't communicate with investors very well. They only come to us when they're looking for more money." The last time that happened, he says, was "three or four months ago."
