Or that it will pay back the Gloria Wise *loan*? Or is that also part of the *brilliant business strategy*? Oh, I just realized, you are the redesigned Peak Oiler. My friend, you have had a rough past couple of weeks, what with the Saudi 140-year estimate, the hundreds of years in shale oil, the Gulf discovery, and lower gas prices. It must be tough holding onto that gloom and doom when things are going so well. #1, so I guess you have inside info that AAR is not going to file? Or that it will pay back the Gloria Wise *loan*?

AAR has always had a brilliant business strategy of not paying for any advertising (apart from what they self promote on the air). They are able to do this by agitating the wingnuts and getting people talking about it all the time. Witness the fact that Bill O'Reilly can not keep from talking about AAR, and I know about this even though I don't watch O'Reilly. The lack of advertising in other media means that they can spend their money on operating costs. By the same token, this strategy has allowed other progressive talker like Miller and Schultz to provide mutual benefits and pull each other along. Bottom line is that AAR is getting more free advertising from these rumors or facts; true or not it doesn't matter as long as Malkin, O'Reilly, Limbaugh, etc talk about it, along with the big guns of the progessive blogosphere such as Atrios and Kos. Since when has this hurt anybody? They don't care what they say about the station as long as you get the network's name approximately phonetically correct. Keep it coming.
