"The O'Franken Factor" ...no, really!
Drudge (sorry) is reporting that the new liberal talk radio network is ready to go on March 31, with Al Franken hosting an afternoon show Monday-Friday:

"'I’m so happy that Air America Radio will be on in three battleground states, New York, Illinois and California….no wait…those aren’t battleground states. What the hell are we doing?' said Franken.

Air America Radio has signed actress and comedienne Janeane Garofalo, hip hop icon Chuck D, radio personality Randi Rhodes, and political humorist Sam Seder to join Franken at the network. Environmental activist Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., 'The Daily Show' co-creator Lizz Winstead, and business-of-the-media analyst on the public radio program 'Marketplace' Martin Kaplan will also join the network."


Apparently Al's show will really be called "The O'Franken Factor." Will this network make it? I'm hopeful but have my doubts.
