It’s official: the employee ID once owned by former Lehman Brothers guard dog Bella, who has passed on since being laid off from by Barclays, sold for $810 in our little auction. We were going to give the proceeds to laid off Brothers and Sisters but the peanut gallery decided it would prefer the money be donated to some sort of canine charity, and we’ve obliged. We’ll be sending a check to the Animal Medical Center. Two things.


First off, thank you buyer ‘Ziggy’ for shelling out big time, congratulations on having what we presume to be the last stable and lucrative job in the financial services industry, and get excited for your special delivery. Second– this got us thinking. If the ID card of an (admittedly adorable) puppy can go for nearly a grand, imagine what we could get for the badge’s of inept, deposed CEOs! So we are putting out the call now, and we’ll do a little follow-up stalking with some aggravated assault later, to Fuld, Cayne, O’Neal, and Mozilo. Send us what are essentially pieces of useless plastic and we will flip them for bank and donate the bills to a worthy cause, which may turn out to be a fund for your former employees. It’s actually a win-win for everyone involved, as it’d allow you guys to win back a modicum of respect from the public. And if you agreed to match the winning bid? It’d be like you were never even responsible for the failure of your respective institutions. Don’t say no, just say maybe, and promise you’ll think about it.

    Bess, when is Muffie going to interview Cliff Mason, CNBC 20-something economics God from Harvard?

  9. Posted by guest | November 5, 2008 at 3:49 PM

    Cliff Mason
    Cliff Mason is the Senior Writer of CNBC’s Mad Money w/Jim Cramer, and has been that program’s primary writer, in cooperation with and under the supervision of Jim Cramer, since he began at CNBC as an intern during the summer of 2005. Mason was the author of a column at TheStreet.com during 2007, which he describes as “hilarious, if short-lived.” He graduated from Harvard College in 2007. It was at Harvard that Mason learned to multi-task, mastering the art of seeming to pay attention to professors while writing scripts for Mad Money. Mason has co-written two books with Jim Cramer: Jim Cramer’s Mad Money: Watch TV, Get Rich and Stay Mad For Life: Get Rich, Stay Rich (Make Your Kids Even Richer). He is 100% responsible for any parts of either book that you did not like. Mason has also had a fruitful relationship with Jim Cramer as his nephew for the last 23 years and will hopefully continue to hold that position for many more as long as he doesn’t do anything to get himself kicked out of the family.

    Bella, I fondly remember that cool spring morning when you licked peanut butter off of my genitalia. Your warm tongue will never be forgotten.

    Why do you guys make fun of Richard Fuld? What did he do wrong? I don’t get it. -Cliff Mason

    Cliff Mason needs to go back to school to learn how to write.

    Anyone else listen to that WFC “Business Update” call?
    “That sounds scary (laughter)”
    - After the risks were read out
    “We expect to take a $40b hit related to the acquisition, so that our future EPS looks better”
    (vs $100b market cap, $36b tangible equity, $25b TARP debt, $10b equity raise)
    “No calls? Really operator? Guess we’ll wrap up for the day.”
