Which must be why I don’t watch CNBC.

The reason I don’t watch it is that every single time I’ve ever happened upon that channel, they’ve been showing an infomercial. If I’d accidentally clicked on it when that dude was smashing the Oreos, I might’ve started watching.

Well, silly, you have to get up and watch when the European markets are closing, and watch at least until NY has been open two hours. Then you can take a nap for a couple hours, if you must, get up for the NY closing hour, the several hours of analysis afterwards (including Cramer), and then, after the sun brings noon to the Marshall Islands, you can catch up on your sleep during the infomercials, which run well into the Asian market day. Or, maybe, you’ll find you prefer the infomercials, in which case…

I never watch the channel either, but did catch this clip. ambush of Frank If there’s one thing I hate(liberal violent hate) is a hindsighted jackass trying to ambush “prey” much tougher than they are.

This one is pretty simple. The oreo packaging symbolizes the infrastructure of the United States economy, the cookies themselves are the average working folks’ lives being chopped to pieces, the axe represents the greedy corporate wall street execs, and Kramer is, well, Kramer and MSNBC helping to facilitate it.

Kin I haz my Nobel Prize now?

The absolute best advice for buying stocks comes from a guy smashing Oreos with an axe; how could anyone think otherwise?

If you wouldn’t waste so much time watching old baseball games, TBogg, you could learn to understand how smashing packages of Oreos with an axe is a perfect demonstration of certain economic theories. I understand it completely. No, I won’t explain it to you. You have to do the hard work of studying these things, like Kramer and me. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m getting back to my learned study of macroeconomics and Nabisco products.

it occurred to me that I obviously don’t understand anything about business and finance and economics

I’m pretty sure Cramer doesn’t either, along with most of the other talking heads on the TVtoobs. Especially the talking boobs.

It’s worse too. Moore, sadly, lived in an Age of Shame. His momentary failure is nothing compared to Cramers’ manifest, epic awfulness. If anyone who touted shit stocks on TV for as long as he did — which surely led to economic failure for some sucker acolyte — so dishonestly and is still allowed on TV without even a moment’s reflection (to say nothing of at least a pill-popping Bob McFarland’s take-pity-on-me suicide attempt — which Hunter Thompson mocked as a “chaser”) well, he should at lesat be able to take a few hundred thousand tomatoes to the face.

That was why i didn’t get my thesis published. I thought Cramer was an evil scion of the Keebler elves and was doing their bidding. So it was the national biscuit company on the TV with an axe, not Ernie Keebler in a magical tree

I thought Stewart had smashed Cramer’s Cookies with his Mighty Ax of Comedy a long time ago.

And Cramer’s still on the air?

Stewart’s losing it.

yah …and THEN ..oreo futures went up 10 cents ..

I still think of Donnie Moore every so often.

The big question, though, is what your mother & L&TBoggette were doing while you were waxing nostalgic & watching telebision. Or was your function mostly to drive & pay, while not butting into the conversation?

P. S.: You’re lucky the sound was off. Kramer’s of the Morning Zoo approach to sound. Can’t have too many klaxons, bells, whistles, gongs, etc. Can’t be too much of him screeching either.
