The Jim “Cosmo” Cramer Watch:
Well, it couldn’t last forever. The Today Show figured the probationary period was long enough so they invited Cosmo back on this morning, along with Erin (I Love Chachi) Burnett, fresh from her Murrow-award-winning performance on Trump’s show.
Meredith (Que) Viera acted like nothing happened at first, but then eventually got around to asking Cramer about Jon (Mad Media) Stewart. Predictably, Cramer said it was really the politicians and businessman that were at fault in all this, and NOT the media I guess he did not learn at all from Jon. Stewart, who in fact, saves his best sarcasm for the pompously trivial media windbags like Kramer and Burnett, and Meredith (W.W.T.B) Millionaire.
So Kramer is back in good stead, not 10-ft under, and not cast aside like *ucker Carlson.
If you are keeping track, Maron is in Austin at SxSW so the next two days of BRL will be solo Sammy. I think they said they would be doing the entire Ring of Fire this weekend but I think Marc is still supposed to be in Austin.
It’s still hard for me to digest how tone deaf, arrogant and dense these financial geniuses are.
Geithner was worried about law suits if the bonus clause was breached ’cause it was in their contract. I hope the autoworkers can instill the same fear when their contracts are breached.
In school when a contract provision is breached, unless there is some specific consequence in the contract, the board simply acknowledges that the action was a breach and may repeat the same action over and over. There are no consequences.
I don’t understand the enormity or the complexity of the global financial system or its impact on the US. I bet it’s more than a challenge to operate under time constraints when real lives are dangling in the midst of it all and it’s not just tweaking of another theory. I wonder about the architecture and paradigm shifts in the nature of a global economy of the future. It wasn’t too long ago that slavery was common practice. I heard on the radio last night that (I may be off a few digits here) four of the first five presidents were slave owners.
I have BURGLAR DOGS! Every night they try to get into the bin where the dog food is. I put one of those heavy duty clips on it and they STILL got in. So I put 2 on each side and they didn’t get in but they dragged it out of the cubby hole it’s in and chewed on it! Now it’s up on top of the fridge but that’s rather inconvenient. :tap:
KP, I have a sneaky burglar cat who rips holes in bags of food and treats. The holes are usually in an unseen spot so that when I pick up the bag the contents spill out.
Everybody is rushing to condemn AIG’s bonuses, but this simple scandal is obscuring the real disgrace at the insurance giant: Why are AIG’s counterparties getting paid back in full, to the tune of tens of billions of taxpayer dollars?
I thought my bins were safe 49N, They snap shut plus the heavy duty clips! Goddamned BURGLAR DOGS! Sometimes I hear stuff at night. Burglar dogs are trying to get into the food. Maybe they know what’s coming. :tinfoil:
I like lots of “SALSA” on my “GONZAGA” :rofl2:

“Cosmo”‘s appearance made possible by hiding under the skirt of the NBC chairman attacking Stewart for “being way out of line”

It ‘s pretaped. Went into the can yesterday

after the noon deadline, but what the heck.
Geithner: Treasury pushed for bonus loophole
:priest:
Tick, tick, tick…
I worked at Allstate when Ed Liddy was CEO. I didn’t think much of him at the time, and apparently I was right. What a douche.
On second thought, I take that back. A douche is useful and makes things fresh. Liddy is no douche.

Some people are just more equal than others!
I’d have figured you for curly brackets. {}

Oh, aren’t those braces, PJ?
(Edited) Never mind. It’s the same thing.
They’re all symbols of inclusion
Or symbols of exclusion. I guess it’s similar to how you see the glass, whether it be half full or half empty.

Braces are those things Larry King wears.
Thanks for the update, art. I missed a lot of BRL this week but I did just hear they were pre-recording RoF for the weekend.

🙁 Tough 2nd Q.
I think felines prefer ‘cat burglar’. :cat: :billcat:
Maybe I should put the dog food in a SAFE!
Aretha style?!

bins, kp, bins. It’s the only way. metal or plastic but with a tight fitting lid!
:cat:
The bonus controversy is a total head fake and distraction.
I thought my bins were safe 49N, They snap shut plus the heavy duty clips! Goddamned BURGLAR DOGS! Sometimes I hear stuff at night. Burglar dogs are trying to get into the food. Maybe they know what’s coming. :tinfoil:
oops. sorry. kp. bungee cords? bins in the closet. burglar alarms? gotta love them doogies! :pup:
