    Michelle Caruso Cabrera should be fired Who the h e l l does she think she is? She just spoke so disrespectfully and rudely to Jack Welsh. Poor Kudlow, he had a nice show and now he is stuck with the revolving bimbo brigade. All boobs and no brain.

    WE SHOULD HAVE LIVE BLOGGED OBAMA’S INFO-MERCIAL.
    I Tivo’d it. I’m voting for the guy — but oh, it sucked.
    It has emotive music and tries to make you feel pity for all the poors.
    He could have done something like “Morning in America”.
    What ever happened to HOPE??
    It whines so much I can’t stand it.
    Probably will make the fly over states cry though. They’ll probably love it.

    I absolutely love that banker wins lottery article, only for the sole purpose of imagining the ire on the faces of those who call us fatcats. I hope it’s enough to get me through the Great Depressiobama era.
