The Phrase "Financial Products" Was The Beginning Of The End



Who coined the phrase "financial products"? I remember hearing that phrase a couple of years ago and thinking, "That doesn't sound right."

Old Man Almost Wins The British Open At Turnberry


Is this really possible? Do old man smarts trump big hitting youngsters at Turnberry? Tom Watson is 59 years old. Official Leaderboard is here.
Tom Watson failed to par the 18th hole to insure his victory in the British Open and had a tough slog through the four-hole playoff with Stewart Cink. The second place finish was remarkable nonetheless but not what Tom Watson or most fans were looking for.

Tucker Carlson Comes Back From Wherever To Call Jon Stewart A Partisan Hack

The Really: Tucker? Do you really miss Jon that much?

Tucker Carlson can't get enough of calling Jon Stewart names. It's a ratings bonanza!! So today Tucker calls Jon a "partisan hack" and will "end up like Lenny Bruce" (which of course means dead of a heroin overdose) for taking Jim Cramer to the woodshed--which we believe Jim Cramer liked.

Jon Stewart Eviscerates Jim Cramer And All Financial Monkey Pundits On CNBC

The Really: It was one of television's great moments. Cramer seemed on the verge of tears. But he is a lawyer so he might have been playing possum. But he didn't have a leg to stand on against Stewart's argument that the CNBC shows and Cramer's show do a public disservice. Jon Stewart at his best.

Unedited Interview Jon Stewart/Jim Cramer Part 3 NSFW




The funny thing is while we are waiting for the link to the Jim Cramer Daily Show Massacre we noticed Jon's videos have an ad at the beginning of them: FROM BANK OF AMERICA! Guess everybody has to earn a living.

New Presidential Computer Guy's Former Office Raided By FBI

The Really: President's Obama's choice for technology chief had his former office raided by the FBI investigating a bribery case.

The new Secretary In Charge Of Computers, Twitters and Facebook Pages Vivek Kundra, has taken a leave of from his new job in government. But if this guy had nothing to do with the bribery scam, why does he need to take the leave? The FBI says he is not the target but a contractor that he was in charge of prior to his government job is.

Kitchen Nightmare: "Oh, P*** O**!"


The Really: Is Gordon Ramsay in the middle of his very own Hell's Kitchen?

The recent New Great Depression has taught us it is not always clear what the mechanics of financial agreements are. Apparently no one in the government, SEC or on the talking heads news stations like CNBC really knows either so we don't want to comment on the sale of Chef Gordon Ramsay's LA restaurant with the confusing name (Gordon Ramsay at the London West Hollywood).

Let's just say we didn't ask from comment from the old boy because we knew what the answer would be: "P*** O**!!!!"

John McCain Says Quit Bailing Out Banks


The Really: Let them fail? Really? Why not just make them lend?

Senator John McCain went on a Fox talk show this weekend and has come to the conclusion that we need to stop bailing out GM, AIG or even the banks. Fine for a man with a big enough mattress to hide his money in but has anyone thought of the dislocations this would cause. And is this a suggestion for a national bank? Holy Constitution Batman!

Octo-Mom Blogs!


The Really: We like the new masters of radaronline.com (the Enquirer folks) because the artsy fartsy former editors and writers at Radar made us laugh too much and made us think too much...which hurt our heads.

Rove To Testify, But Not In The Light


The Really: Rove to finally be forced to answer questions under oath?

But before you get visions of Sweet Citizen Sam Ervin bumbling through a Watergate-like glare, just read the fine print over at The Caucus. It will be in deposition but not in public. He will be under oath and perjury would apply but you won't have to take off of work to watch it because it will not be televised...that is if you have a job.

DeNiro Gives Jimmy Fallon A Hard Time


pic from videogum.com

The Really: This late night show hosting is easy!

Don't want to be too critical but Fallon's first show was sometimes a little uncomfortable to watch. DeNiro IS NOT an easy interview. Some highlights or lowlights here at Gawker.
