ProFlowers is headquartered in San Diego, California. It is part of a larger entity, Provide Commerce which is in turn part of Liberty Media.

ProFlowers, later called “Provide Commerce”, was started by Jared Polis in 1998. In February 2006 Liberty Media Corporation (NYSE:L; LMC. purchased Provide Commerce, Inc.

Good idea.

I am looking forward to all the new conservative based ads that Rush will pick up. It’s great to weed out the meek and spineless.....

[Jim from C-Town]

Have them all call tomorrow, over and over. Start making orders, take lots of time. When you get to the point when you are to pay say “ You know I decided not to order because you side with sluts over patriots.

How long can consumer company sustain without new business everyday? What happens after thousands of ALMOST placed orders are not placed?

Oh my gosh. Brilliant. Especially the SleepTrain mattress, I’m sure she could use a new one.

[Parmy]

Well, I've listened to Rush since the beginning. If it weren't for him, where would we be, today. Because back then there really was no one else.

Furthermore, try to remember all the slander that we conservatives have had to endure over the years. What Rush said pales by comparison.

[Qbert]

"No, I think we need to know who all these cowards are so we avoid spending any money with them. They obviously don’t care about their good long time customers who actually spend money with them"

But these companies haven't caved (so far). They shouldn't be lumped in with the others yet.

[P.O.E.]

While I’m at it, a regular mattress is fine with the wife and I (when I’m not sleeping on the couch, that is). So don’t need to know what my sleepnumber is.

Don’t need Carbonite, I use CDs to back up important files.

Don’t need Lifelock, I don’t use credit cards and I watch my bank online regularly. I’m extremely chary with online transactions.

I buy Turkey Hill Ice Tea, but would be willing to try one of Rush’s, depending on how well they mix with cherry vodka.

Liberty Media Corporation owns interests in a broad range of media, communications and entertainment businesses. Those interests include subsidiaries Starz, LLC, Atlanta National League Baseball Club, Inc., and TruePosition, Inc., interest in SiriusXM, Live Nation and Barnes & Noble, and minority equity investments in Time Warner Inc. and Viacom.

Now owns ProFlowers, etc.

[annieokie]

Maybe its time to call up Cherries Berries, place an order and explain it will be your last if they cancel.

My Carbonite subscription expires in 9 days. I logged in last night and told them to cancel because I like Rush better than them. Today they sent me a survey and I filled it out with lowest scores. The last question asked what they could do for me to raise the score and I said fire Mr Friend or Freiendly or whatever the CEO name is that published his comments about dropping Rush.
Just now logged into my ProFlowers account and cancelled them also and telling them why.

[Dante3]

I used to order regularly from ProFlowers, but no more.

[unixfox]

Anybody think we are ever going to have a free and fair election??

No. But I do believe we will have another revolution. And it aint gonna be pretty.

[SnuffaBolshevik]

I wasn’t aware of that ‘til now.

Thanks for the info. Always appreciate a gentle remonstration.

“Well excuse the **** out of me.”

Believe me, I have. Call some stupid expect to get it back especially when you don’t know what you are talkiing about.

[fabian]

I am not in agreement with these advertisers, but Rush has gotten more rambling and irritated over the years. He is not the same funny and light hearted Rush and I think the left has gotten to him a bit.

[driftdiver]

Carbonite has saved me several times, but its time I brought this in house anyway.

Also, will stop recommending them to my customers.

[southernmomma]

Good idea. Going to order some tea tomorrow. Might as well order it tonight.

[Mark]

I too cancelled Carbonite. A Freeper mentioned Crashplan.com. They have some great pricing, I’ll probably go with them.
