Morning Sedition Update

Today is the last live Morning Sedition at O'Neal's in NYC. Alas, I have too big a workload to go, and it's probably just as well, because these days when I turn the radio on in the morning, it just makes me feel depressed and hopeless.

There are almost 2500 signatures on the petition now (if you haven't yet signed, what are you waiting for?), Seditionistas are bombarding Danny Goldberg with cards and letters, and Marc Maron is giving tantalizing hints that there's a small possibility that something can be worked out.

I'm not putting a whole lot of eggs in that basket, for Danny Goldberg is looking more and more like a Republican mole every day.

But at least the rabble of Blogtopia is starting to get on the case.

Reb at Lefter, Warmer, Bill at Under the Lobsterscope are talking about the show, and Sufilizard at The Resistance even yanks my comment about the show at Kos as a lead-in. And to talk to other Seditionists, you can go to any of these diaries at Kos, or to the boards at Air America Place.

Meanwhile, if you want to join the barrage of paper (don't e-mail, they're too easily deleted), send a letter or postcard to:

Danny Goldberg
Chief Executive Officer
Air America Radio
641 Sixth Avenue
4th Floor
New York, NY 10011

...or call and register your support: 212-871-8100.

Danny Goldberg is a guy who wrote a book called How the Left Lost Teen Spirit, and now he's canned the guy who brings in the younger listeners in the morning -- just before Howard Stern departs broadcast radio, leaving his youthful audience high and dry -- and ripe for the picking.

Goldberg, like George W. Bush, seems to be yet another lousy manager who can wreck what he touches in record time.
