Elmer Fudd is gay

For some odd reason I usually turn on CNBC and move between it, Fox Business, and Bloomberg while I eat my lunch. Today I was unlucky enough to get to see Grandpa Warren and Barney Frank. While it's a closer call than you might think I'll go on record as being more repulsed by Barney Frank than America's Grandpa.

Listening to Barney Frank talk his nonsense puts the fact that Scott Brown won the Massachusetts senate seat in it's proper perspective. The same state that has sent Bawny Fwank to congress for the last 28 years just gave one of their 2 Senate seats to a Republican. While I'll remain skeptical that this will lead to the kind of revolution necessary to save the U.S. from bankruptcy it is certainly an encouraging sign nevertheless. If somehow you've been able to avoid ever hearing Bawny speak you might want to google him. He's gay and sounds like Elmer Fudd. The content of his bs is equally absurd, but it is simply amazing to me that this guy has been elected to congress over and over again. Not to mention that Bawny was reprimanded for taking care of the parking tickets of a male prostitute that he paid for sex. The same people that vote for this worthless piece of garbage just voted in a Republican to replace Ted Kennedy? Wow...

Anyway he first showed up on CNBC being interviewed by the charlatan Jim Cramer about Barry O's new plan to eliminate prop trading from banks. He and Cramer came to the conclusion that this wouldn't be fair unless it wasn't enacted for 3-5 years. I watched the ticker on the NYSE go from down 220 points to down 170 points while these two pricks determined what would be fair. He then moved on to Bloomberg where he continued to try and prop the market up while hinting that he would resist any efforts to actually reduce systemic risk in the U.S. banking system.

Then there was Grandpa Buffet. Yesterday he announced that he was splitting the Berkshire B shares 50-1 and gave an hour interview to his favorite little propaganda spewer Becky Quick. Today he showed up on Fox. You know the administration is afraid the equity markets are going to tank when Grandpa has to do both CNBC and Fox. Once again he gave the sage advice that all of us peons should be buying U.S. equity markets.

It is good to know that Bawny and Grandpa are making the rounds to try and keep the wheels on the cart today.
