    That’s your best commercial yet, btw. Someone’s getting the hang of that software.

    KC — I cannot believe the draft Kansas City is having. They’ve not had one bad pick yet. This year could pan out to “make” this team, just like the Giants draft did last year for them.

    UBS write offs… palease, next week there will be write ups!

    Dow will rally to 14,000 by the end of 2008, and to 15,000 by June ’09… says the dude in Barrons.

    I demand my avatar be changed from Liberace to Wolf Blitzer, John King or Keith Olbermann immediately… or, to please the one known as Jake Gint, to Brit Hume.

    You switching to the rancid Olbermann would please me no end, Dino.

    Possibly the only avatar worse than Liberace.

    Ducati and the others haven’t a chance in hell.

    BEAS will strike down upon them with great vengeance and furious anger.

    I have already heard via internet chatter that one of the candidates has retained an attorney in the event of hanging chads and or internet fraud.
    To the candidate (who shall remain nameless) who offered me cash and Jack Daniels for my vote: The Jack Daniels is acceptable but the cash is on the low side. Please contact me.

    Is the “drunken blogger” label a reference to the fact that you frequently lose the keys to the futures tab?

    Gosh knows I’ve only done nine or ten media deals in my lifetime, so I may be off, but… as I understand the business model to work, the broadcast media pays the source for the rights to broadcast the source’s material.

    Not the other way ’round.

    I’m available for short stint consulting on this, if need be.

    Leawood,

    I am working on a list of “questions” that each of the candidates will be forced, under much physical duress, to answer.

    The debate shall be done in the PG. I expect each candidate will make his case.

    I have it on good info that one of the candidates (and I won’t say which one out of fear of retribution) was a secret adviser to the board of MVIS for the last three years.
    I have also learned that this same candidate has been trolling the Men’s bathroom of the SEC in Washington DC looking for inside information.

    Fly- Take note. It’s a steak throwdown with Bobby Flay on the Food Channel. Get a new recipe for the 2 inch ribeyes on the grill.

    I am not short DECK.

    I informed you fuckers, prior to the earnings, that the only stock I was short was POT.

    I already miss the 2008 recession. A sucker for nostalgia, I guess.

    For those of you too young to remember that recession, it was a scary one. Nobody dared jump without an enormous golden parachute (you could still buy gold with dollard at the time).

    Here’s a taste of what it looked like before the bankers and brokers rode to the country’s rescue.

    I’m short on the candidates via the ultra inverse ETF, ticker symbol: AHATS, paired with Green Writer and Hattery. I’m a little concerned however, that Green Writer will fail to pass a drug test, so I’ll be covering shortly.
