    Ed McMahon Is Pitiful and Symbol of A Lot of What's Wrong With the U.S.A.

    A ballplayer knows he has a very finite life. I know a couple, about ten years retired, who made 30 mill, and still have it. Now, they make 14mm a year!!! But they have to know that they're lucky, and this is their lotto ticket. What was McMahon thinking? that he was this tremendous...

    Heads up on LEH!

    If you don't believe you know, just stay away. Wild card is Einhorn and his pals do a hatchet job into the weekend and expiration.

    Who here *doesn't* believe that Obama is doomed?

    So, we've got, McCain Landslide, Obama Landside, too close to call. I still think Hillary knows Fibber McGees' closet has a lot of stuff to come tumblin' out. Those two are belly crawlin' scum, and they do nothing that doesn't directly benefit them. She didn't cough up a hard stolen 11mm...

    Ed McMahon Is Pitiful and Symbol of A Lot of What's Wrong With the U.S.A.

    Tim Russert died, Ed is evicted. I'm so thankful no everyday folks endure such hardships. How would they get by? How would they cope? Ed can pick up a microphone and make what Richard Jeni used to call "bullshit money'. We can't do that. How can he just piss all that away, and idiots...

    Who here *doesn't* believe that Obama is doomed?

    Don't have to. If he wins, he'll just take it anyway. Let me ask you, when you get a setup, do you put all your money in it, your relatives, etc.??? I gave you an opinion. I thought it was well thought out. If you think about it, the polls would lean his way. 141 days to go. There's...

    Who here *doesn't* believe that Obama is doomed?

    The media tells you that Obama has big crowds. That Obama leads in the polls. The people who will come out and vote against Obama, that is, in a way, different than a vote for McCain, will not go to rallies and answer polls. But they will come out in droves to vote against Obama. The...

    Price jolt: Electricity bills going up, up, up

    Fpl has decided to build Solar, finally, for 666mm, and they want to increase rates to pay for it. What planning. What foresight. Heating oil is pushing $5. This winter, Markey will be able to pull his constituents' frozen bodies from their abodes, and feed his precious polar bears...

    Go Rocco Go

    If you don't play the game, you have no idea how hard those two putts were. Man. Center cut. Unbelievable. I was just hoping Tiger didn't blow him out, and embarrass him. And lookey lookey.

    Go Rocco Go

    Bob Polski sold Rocco his first set o' clubs. Roncos, I think they were. The rest, as they say, is history. That was Polski.

    Bob Polski tribute, All-time Great Salesman

    It was Polski that sold Oppenheimer the concept of "The Bomb". Then, he sold the Government the land for Oak Ridge. Of course, they then needed housing, manufacturing facilities........ That was Polski.

    Heads up on LEH!

    From years of watching this stuff, watch for Einhorn to magically appear, or, it may be a surrogate, to blunt this price rise. I know a guy who is uncanny calling the pundits attacking Overstock, and I studied it. There are very strange periods, and then the floodgates open. Same here...

    Heads up on LEH!

    Good for you. Einhorn just wanted everyone to help push the stock over the edge. It had to be a hugely crowded trade. I just have a problem because I can't separate it emotionally. But, it was pretty obvious. I just don't see how UBS stays open. They alledgedly cheated the Treasury...

    Bright trading and any thoughts

    It would seem to me, really a novice in the Prop field, that if I were to make such a move, I would want to know on the worst day that someone of good fiber was in charge. Don could use a little more fiber, but that being said, I've been at brokerage firms that failed, and it's not pretty. The...

    Bob Polski tribute, All-time Great Salesman

    It was Polski that sold 19,000 condoms to the S. Pole staff.

    Scotts Miracle Grow

    In the fourth year of a drought, I have a bit of experience in this. They tell you NOT to fertilize. Grass grows too much, demands too much water. So, I pulled it all out, and went 'zero scape'. And I think you'll see more of that as water rates soar (sic).

    Heads up on LEH!

    So, where are all these Lehman bears? What do now? BTW, see all the AIG ads over the last three months? Car Insurance, Auto, health, financial planning. Then, the CEO resigns? My bet is they gave away product to get cash flow, and they suffer mightily. Of course, they 've got a ton of...

    Who else thinks Einhorn is fishy?

    why would you have your life savings in a company? He is self serving. That's an opinion. But let's see how it plays out. And I think he's made some HUGE, Spitzer style, enemies. Fun to watch.

    Tim Russert Dead @ 58

    I lost my Dad at age 47. I was only 21. And he died a Tim Russett kind of death. And I watched it It's brutal. I watched John McSherry go down. Remember the Umpire in the first game of the 1997 season. His head jerked back, he fell, adn he was dead before he hit the ground. when I see...
