R.I.P. Air America -- as if we need more bad news. Literally.

Just sad.  The station goes off the air Monday . . . a warning of what's to come, unfortuately, as big business -- newly invigorated by the recent SCOTUS ruling -- slowly buys up the rest of our communication outlets...   Think the internet is the last bastion of free speech?  You're right.  Think it's gonna stay that way?  You're wrong.  From their site:

  It is with the greatest regret, on behalf of our Board, that we must announce that Air America Media is ceasing its live programming operations as of this afternoon, and that the Company will file soon under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code to carry out an orderly winding-down of the business.. .
