I can believe it. I have heard that he has lost some advertisers because of things he has done or said.

Would the number of advertisers really make that much of a difference, though? I thought he had a pretty sweet radio contract with a solid salary. I can't imagine that the number of advertisers would make a big difference unless he was getting a big cut of the advertising revenue.

Bar exam prep has already melted my brain, so I probably wasn't as clear as I inteded in my first post.

I think it WAS affecting his bottom line by a large amount which was why he allegedly pulled the stunt.

When do you take the bar? July?
I'm somewhat envious of you right now. Even though bar prep is rough, at least you're already there. I am officially a 2.5L and I can't wait to
G-R-A-D-U-A-T-E! (okay end of hijack)

I'm taking two bars in February; I'm a January graduate so I'm doing the "off-season" bar exam and bar prep. Good luck with the rest of school!
