When Air America Radio launched a few weeks ago, there were reports that the liberal talk radio network had been unable to come to a deal with Chapel Hill's WCHL 1360 AM because Air America didn't want to syndicate some parts of their programming to stations that couldn't or didn't want to air all of it in its entirety. Thankfully, someone came to their senses and starting today, WCHL is airing The O'Franken Factor from noon to 2pm and The Majority Report from 7pm to 9pm. The station that brings you Woody Durham and Mick Mixon will now also bring you Al Franken and Janeane Garofalo!
In even more exciting news regarding local access to lefty media stars, NYTimes op-ed columnist and badass Princeton economist Paul Krugman is speaking at UNC's Carroll Hall tonight. It's worth noting that Krugman's 2001 and 2002 columns were consistently spotlighting just about everything wrong with the Bush administration and its economic policies, long before the recent crop of anti-Bush books started dominating the bestseller list. I'm skipping class for this one...

heh. i am betting on some st. louis Trackboyz-produced shit, and not just bcs they were profiled in the NEW YORKER FER CHRISSAKES.
btw, it's good to know that there are others who agree that KRUGMAN RULES.

I too am curious as to what had the front window of 411 West vibrating last evening. Make with the jam!
I'm thinking that "Yeah" is peaking too early to last into the summer.

I'm gonna say that Lil Flip might be appearing in some of the less-club, more-cruising hits of the summer. Its sizzurp hip hop for the masses.
