10/13: Air America files for bankrupty protection
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Sorry. I was out for part of the afternoon and only now have time to include the fact that liberal talk show network Air America filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, something that was hinted at on the Web about a month ago.
