Not that I’d want to let the facts get in the way of this little fest, but apparently no one has bothered to view Carbonite’s stock performance for the past quarter. It has been in steep, steady decline since before the beginning of this year, and was down ~23% from it’s value at the beginning of the year even before the company announced that it was pulling it’s ads from Limbaugh’s show.

This is just a continuation of that trend.

"I must humbly disagree with El Rushbo... ...its Rushs show. He does what he wants. People think Rush has a boss. His only boss are advertisers. Rush just denied his boss AND made himself a hero, once again, with his listeners. What an excellent example of the free market!"
Actually, I'd say Rush is his own boss. He has a product/service...whatever you want to call it... that attracts a wide audience. Smart advertisers and companies, unlike Sleep Train, know this... which is why Rush can pretty much pick and choose his advertisers. Advertisers can "fire" Rush, or choose not to advertise, just as Rush can "decline" advertisers. In Rush's situation, as in any good business situation, it has to be a mutually beneficial. One of the beauties of capitalism.

Bravo Rush, bravo!

Rush Limbaugh blues, you made me cry.
I don’t want to lose this business.
And if I could choose a way to die
It wouldn’t be by suicide.
[Chorus:]
Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I’d gladly do it because
I don’t want to fade away.
Give me one more chance, please.
I don’t want to fade away.
On your show I want to stay.
It’s all wrong, but it’s all right.
The way that I treated you, Rush.
Once I was strong but I lost the fight.
You won’t find a bigger loser.
[Chorus: x2]
Rush Limbaugh blues, don’t say goodbye.
I’m certain we won’t meet again,
And if we do, don’t be surprised
If you find me out of business.
[Chorus]
I don’t want to fade away.
Give me one more chance please.
I don’t want to fade away.
On your show I want to stay.

How bad on Carbonite?
I read a drop the other day. What it the accumulation since this whole flap began?
TIA!
