Air America Radio Celebrates One Year on the Air

"Thanks for shifting to the left side of the dial!" the announcer says on station KPOJ in Portland Oregon.

The network features comedic actress Janeane Garofalo and rapper Chuck D.
Anchoring the network is Al Franken, who has transformed himself from a TV comedy writer to a liberal satirist with two best-selling books roasting conservative media figures like Mr Limbaugh.

Mr Franken rose to prominence as liberal gadfly and media critic with his book "Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot" and continued his attack with a follow-up book last year "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right."
