Some folks are best used as contrarian indicators, much as is done with investing.


Carbonite Crashes After Limbaugh Backlash

Since Carbonite CEO David Friend thought it wise to lecture existing and potential customers on his idea of a needed civility, the company's stock has dropped 20%, according to Terry Ponick of the Washington Times, and now sits at 60% off a 2011 high mark in a difficult market. But Friend will always have MSNBC and the left's nutroots, who apparently don't have much money to spend on Carbonite. At this point, it's unclear if Carbonite has what it takes to restore itself.

Some folks might start feeling entitled to Carbonite. Given the election season, the candy store is open.....if the government starts passing out the service free for the "deserving", we could expect the subscription for full paying dummies to go from $60 a year to around $150.00.

The left needs to take care of their friends no matter how much it costs.

Hopefully, I'm just making an inane joke....but you never fricking know.
