In typical leftist fashion, the folks who started up Foil Hat Radio (aka Air America) USED YOUR TAX DOLLARS TO DO SO.

Because so very few people wanted to invest to hear Al Franken and his fellow travelers bitch, moan and whine all night and day on the public airwaves, the kids in certain neighborhoods in NYC have pretty much lost their Boys and Girls Clubs until the next government grant comes down the trough.

Oh, THAT liberal media!
