Apparently, they didn't have a sugar daddy like Rupert Murdoch to keep paying the rent while they got off the ground--like Fox did.
ETA: I just went over to CNN, hoping to get an update on the tsunami situation in Japan. Nope. First words I hear "Donald Trump." I guess I'll try the CBC...
Bae, I will live however I please. So long as it is in within the confines of the law, it is no concern of yours. I refuse to give you drama to work with at this point and suggest you break free from the net and tour your PNW paradise while learning some tolerance for those whose lives don't much resemble yours. Deal sir? RobQuote:

So I'll leave it at this.......you have crossed the line with me Numerous times and yes, an apology would be in order. Beyond that, can't you find a more interesting subject of study to monitor? I have to believe that I am a dime a dozen and therefore very boring to monitor. And yes, I will accept an apology by PM....I have enough respect for your dignity not to require a messy public affair. RobQuote:

Today I've had my fill. Rob
