Anyone interested in buying a BMW? It's in perfect condition, except that it has a tendency to pull sharply to the right. It comes with the factory mounted swastika and the dealership Glenn Beck biography. The gun rack took a little damage when i was fooling around with my sister the other night and my white hood got all tangled up. Please pay in gold.

1. Thanks for posting this. K & R. n/t

2. We should let Thom Hartmann, Ed Schultz, Stephanie Miller

know, to stop promoting Carbonite.

4. I'm a little amazed that the wingers would advertise Carbonite -

if I understand it correctly, it provides off-site backup for everything on your computer. In otherwords, THEY KEEP A COPY OF EVERYTHING ON YOUR COMPUTER.

If I was an anti-government paranoid teabagger, the last thing I'd want is to have some place where the government could access everything on my computer without me knowing it.

Am I wrong?

7. I just tweeted:

Folks, don't use @CarboniteBackup - they advertise on Glenn Beck now.

Feel free to RT it and get the word out.

3. Not only dont' I recognize most of those companies, but I don't use any of them.

5. All of the insurance companies pulled out?

Amazing. I don't use any of these (knowingly).

6. Some information:

These should be considered promos, since they're for programs or other projects of the network's parent company:

News Corp. (The O'Reilly Factor)
News Corp. (On The Record)
News Corp. (Fox News Sunday)
DirecTV
News Corp. (Wall Street Journal)

These are "per-inquiry" spots where the network gets paid based upon response to the ad. These are commonly used as fillers when networks or stations don't have enough actual ads to fill a slot.

Zero Water
Lifestyle Lift
Merit Financial
Lifelock
Sokolove LLC
Credit Card & Debt Relief Helpline

And THIS is a Public Service Announcement, only run when you don't have enough paid spots, per-inquiries, OR promos to fill a slot:

FloodSmart.gov

This means that, at best, Beck only has 12 paying sponsors on his show. And who knows how many of those are "run of schedule" ads where the agency just wants the spot on the channel and doesn't care where it airs, or "bonus" plays given by the network for free to people who buy elsewhere to (once again) fill unsold air time.

Keep up the pressure.
