ASU Web Devil - Davis: Starbucks coffee and a cause

ASU Web Devil - Davis: Starbucks coffee and a cause:
An opinion piece in the Arizona State University Web paper complains about conservatives who are offended by slogans on Starbucks Coffee cups. One of the slogans is from Al Franken. He argues that the conservatives should confront the issues instead of whining about being offended by them. He concludes the piece with:

"As they exist today, the categories 'liberal' and 'conservative' are far too constraining for me to ever consider myself as one or the other. For those of you not so hesitant to label yourself, be aware that when you unquestionably follow someone else's agenda you earn another label: 'sheep.'"

Sounds like a young turk to me.

Quad Cities Online - Q-C talk radio making left turn starting Monday

Quad Cities Online - Q-C talk radio making left turn starting Monday: "A progressive talk station featuring Air America's Al Franken, Janeanne Garofalo, Randi Rhodes and more will debut at 5 a.m. Monday on WKBF-AM 1270, formerly Classic Country 1270." This is Central Illinois, as near as I can tell. A quick web search reveals that its Moline and Rock Island in Illinois and Davenport and Dettendor in Iowa. Should be on the Mississippi in the middle of the state.

BoreAmerica.com: Monitoring Air America

BoreAmerica.com: Monitoring Air America so you don't have to ever monitor it.

I stumbled across this Blog today for the first time. It claims to have been up for a year, but it's pretty clear that no one reads it. It has an Alexa rating of "no data" which means that very few people with Alexa toolbars have stumbled across it.

Apparently run by The Lonewacko Blog which bills itself as a Non-"liberal" blog and is clearly a righty blog.

I've added a link to BoreAmerica on the Air America Enemy/Ripoff pages line of the Program Links. Maybe they need to be monitored? Probably better to just ignore them.

Air America blows out its first candle

Air America blows out its first candle: "Since switching from an oldies music lineup to progressive talk, KPOJ has moved into the top 10 most-listened-to stations locally. 'We went from a 0.4 rating to a 3.7, and that's a pretty substantial jump,' Dirkx says of the latest Arbitron ratings, for fall 2004. 'It's the most successful progressive talk station going right now.'"

Good feature article. Registration required.
