Michelle Caruso-Cabrera's Nipples are Showing on CNBC

I am currently reading a book by the late great financial journalist Louis Rukeyser. When I saw A. Fastow, M. Holland, Michelle, and Karl on the morning Squawk Show, I couldn't help but think the spirit of Lou lives on through your voices. Lou knew so many greats from Milton Friedman, world diplomats, Presidents, and the like. His methods essentially established the foundation from financial broadcasting to expand. And, the king of pun did it with such style. As do all of you!

Financial reporting overall receives a massive reward for Lou having chosen it as a profession to this day. Lord, I miss him so, and I only knew him as a viewer. CNBC, a special thanks for again having M. Holland, a true friend of Mr. Rukeyser as a guest, and for another splendid show!

English Translation of "Nessun Dorma"
Nobody shall sleep!...
Nobody shall sleep!
Even you, o Princess,
in your cold room,
watch the stars,
that tremble with love and with hope.
But my secret is hidden within me,
my name no one shall know...
No!...No!...
On your mouth I will tell it when the light shines.
And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine!...
(No one will know his name and we must, alas, die.)
Vanish, o night!
Set, stars! Set, stars!
At dawn, I will win! I will win! I will win!

I'm almost finished with the authorized biography of Jamie Dimon. And, I think one day soon POWER LUNCH needs to break bread at the Four Seasons Restaurant.

General Thoughts:

On this day, President Obama delivered a speech. Although I did not vote for him, he was succinct, clear, concise, and to the point regarding the recent oil catastrophe in the Gulf. He displayed leadership. The oil companies passed the buck most recently during Congressional hearings concerning this matter. The President also assumed responsibility on behalf of the Federal government. This finger pointing by oil industry leadership does not bode well for the industry.

I was also impressed by the President for opening the door to the White House for his staff to enter. I got the feeling they were going to roll up their sleeves in this matter in a big way.

Ironically, Dennis Neale attempted to defend them. Was that something someone whispered in his ear piece, or does he really even possess a clue about how ludicrous his statement on this issue was?

First, the companies MUST assume responsibility. This demonstrates one of the principles of leadership. Stepping up to the plate during Congressional hearings in this matter is what the American public demands, and quite frankly deserves.

Remember the auto industry in the hot seat of Congressional hearings. The only executive who volunteered instantly to accept no pay until a return to profitability was Mr. Mulally coming from Ford. Now look at the performance of that underlying issue in terms of stock price appreciation. It would have been refreshing to witness the leadership of the companies of BP, Haliburton, etc...stating...we ARE responsible, and we will fix this, period. Instead, they behaved as children. I could do what they did, respect shareholder value, and take a mere 25% of the compensation they receive. And, make no mistake, I am all for executive bonuses if performance appears.

On another note, I find it laughable that Apple is bringing criminal charges to someone over the alleged theft of their telephone. The iSleepWell! is the premier sleep tracking application for the iPhone/iPod
Touch Platform. I've held the nic for over 13 years. Do I possess any recourse? I should have patented it I suppose. When a company such as Apple resorts to tactics of this nature to protect itself, look out below! I believe Apple to be a fine company, yet, what would Apple be without Mr. Jobs? It would drop 100 points in one day from current levels if a catastrophe occurred to him. I wish him well, but dictatorships fizzle eventually. Use your imagination, and keep your eye on the light over the exit door! Slowly reduce your exposure to Apple over the next several years. You'll sleep fine.

On oil---I see it hitting 50-45 per barrel over the next 6 months.

On the Russell 2k---I see 500-488 in the same timeframe.

On the dollar....Ernest Hemmingway would be proud!

On prohibitive spirits...cool! D. Neale again interjected the capitalistic perspective. Mr. John Walsh, and his cohort appeared to believe in their stuff. Mr. Neale, although well intended perhaps should go forward in the future with video game interviews, and let politics alone.

On MCC--Nice dress!

She has got a great pair of cannons!

Michele is nothing but a show off with all her posing for the camera's. I don't like her at all. Stop the posing and stop pushing your chest out, Michele.

Women see right through her phony act. She is disgusting.

Michele has a low IQ and a deformed mouth. Doesn't know what to do with her lips. She's very uncomfortable in front of the camera and doesn't know how to sit. She thinks she's trying out for some sort of beauty contest. She's very uneducated and fits in perfectly with the other female junk on CNBC. CNBC has been downgraded from Business News to Business Entertainment. Any wonder why? Maria is totally dumb and a loud-mouth, Erin is the most naive person on TV and acts childish. Sue is fat and humorless and a prude. These females belong with Dennis and gay-boy Ratigan - Bye Bye!

Sleepwell,
I hate to burst Your bubble but I think Michelle is a big titted bigmouth!!! She has no clue what she is taking about but she does have big tits!! That and a dollar should get her a cup of coffee. Not sure who she screwed to hold her job buy maybe she is Monica Lewinski's mentor. Good luck with your wet dreams,,,,,,Wally

Some days the producers of CNBC get it right.

After making a nice pot of coffee, I started viewing the morning show with Becky, and Carl. Then, a certain member of Congress from the Wisconsin First District came on my screen. Yes, my representative in the flesh personifies the feelings of many. What struck me too was the statue which appeared over his shoulder. I immediately recognized it as none other than the Court House hill statue, live from Janesville, Wisconsin on the national news. Goodness, CNBC, you certainly have arrived.

Janesville is a city not known for many statues, but the one on the Court House hill towers over any other in the city. The statue of a Civil War soldier struck me from my earliest childhood recollections when my dear mother, an admin type used to sometimes walk with me up that very hill. I would gaze at it endlessly!

The selection of the site moved me again today. During the interview, Congressman Ryan effectively stated he would support legislation to reduce government spending. As I understand the issue, many in the opposite party want to increase government spending.

This symbolic statue from the Civil War seems even more appropriate when considering the differences between the two parties engaged in this current budgetary civil war.

Representatives like Congressman Ryan understand the need for fiscal restraint, and responsibility. Lower tax rates can stimulate an economy too I believe he would argue.

The statue on Court House hill will stand long after I fade away. What futures will it witness in the next 100 years? The principles for what the soldiers engaged in the great war between the states eventually caused a mighty clash. Thankfully, in this day, we are not even close to the issues which Mr. Lincoln, and the leadership of that era faced. Yet, civil strife over issues still arises with a seemingly blood thirsty vengeance. ENOUGH OF IT ALREADY!

For the good of this country. I sincerely pray to Providence to grant the leadership on both sides of the aisle the wisdom, and understanding to come to workable, sensible, viable, palatable, passable solutions to the many issues facing our nation as we march forward. I ask the leadership to find strength in the symbolism of statues like this solder in Janesville, like Liberty in NY, like so many other things which set this nation apart from all the others on this planet. I want a better world, and a brighter future for the youth of America.

Thank you again producers of CNBC. Today, you've got game!
