Air America Radio's New President: Mark Green
New Yorkers will be happy to know that Mark Green seems to have found a nice job that won't involve his running for office again. Mark Green, formerly NYC's Public Advocate, has run for mayor of NYC and Attorney General of NY State. Often described as the most qualified candidate no one likes, his own personality probably did more to defeat him than anyting his opponents could do. Mark Green has been an excellent progressive who really stands up for people, but also is known to be one of the biggest assholes in NY politics...and believe me, NY politics is full of assholes, so that's saying something.
This morning I got an email from "The Desk of Mark Green, President of Air America Radio." My first thought was "CAN'T BE!" But it is. Mark Green, the most qualified and hated candidate in NYC politics, has bought Air America Radio and is their new President. I predict this will have no ill effects on what listeners hear since Mark Green's politics are excellent. Really, I have little beef with what he stands for. I predict that Air America Radio will be run better under the Green family. Someone who was widely seen as qualified to run NYC or be Attorney General of NY State is certainly qualified to run a radio station. I am sure he will do well.
But...I predict the employees of Air America radio will rapidly hate their new owner and President. Even some of Green's biggest fans don't like him as a person.

Photoshop fun with New York City's political fauna
There is a whole process to vlogging that I find totally unsatisfying. I hate editing and I hate compressing files for better streaming because it takes too long and I want to put thing up on the web NOW! The upside of editing and going through frames is that you get to crack yourself up with the body language of your subjects.
Case in point : I could spend hours watching Christine Quinn talk ... with the volume off. Check the president of New York City's City Council ... she's an opera diva in making. Ok, maybe a Broadway musical --although I suggest she get a voice coach because she strains her voice during speeches. Girlfriend, breathe!
And then, there is Mark Green; who is running for attorney general...
More after the jump.
