Sears is a dead company walking anyway.

Rush has potential advertisers lined up, according to his transcripts posted today. He said that he declined GM. When one falls away, another has a shot at it.

So many horror stories with subscribers trying to cancel with them.

And I’m glad that they can afford to alienate 20,000,000 listeners. I wonder how much money they made over the years advertising with Rush on the radio as opposed to, uh, oh, um...Alan Colmes? Mike Malloy?

And I hope Hannity and Levin tell them they have no use for them either. Levin does actual voiceover for Carbonite and Proflowers but I somehow can’t see Mark wanting anything to do with them after this.

I miss getting AOL disks in the mail frequently. They made for great target practice.

And every advertiser who bailed will have to pay a premium to get reinstated.

Due to their disloyalty I would hope that he does not reinstate any of them. From what read on FR he has many other advertisers in the wings.

“AOL is a virus.”

As are some of its users.

Despite the join date on my current name, I’ve been here long enough to remember the insufferable sitepest “ash(fill-in-this-weeks-version-name)@aol.com”

AOL used to be the internet (for the sheeple who didn’t know any better, but I repeat myself). Up until about 1993.

I started here back around ‘96 (thanks to Drudge and the Lewinsky scandal) under a different screen name. I dropped off site after I graduated college and no longer had regular access to the ‘Net. When I got my own Net connection I “lurked” for years, but times had changed and I felt I really had nothing to add to the discussion.

When I finally decided to “jump into the fire”, I felt I was so distant from my old self (in time and personality) that I decided to start anew.
