Thursday, March 12 was quite a day in the headlines. For example:
BERNIE MADOFF REMANDED TO PRISON
COMMENT: While victims present in the courtroom applauded, the King of Swindlers was led away in handcuffs. Unreported was a later incident when Ruth Madoff tried to sneak in a pastrami sandwich from Bernie's favorite deli. Ruth, of course, is dearly trying to hold onto $69 million she claims is not from the fraud. She maybe ran an expensive escort service (Eliot Spitzer, anyone)?
BRISTOL PALIN NO LONGER ENGAGED
COMMENT: Remember the unbelievable "spin" right after the GOP convention, where Sarah and others gushed over how much in love Bristol and Levi (who always looked like a deer caught in the headlights) were, their forthcoming marriage and completion of high school (they're both dropouts) ad nauseum? If any normal person bought into this, TNB has a bridge for sale. Another example of Beverly Hills Hillbillies relocated to Wasilla. BTW, actual statistic--only 8% of teenage mothers marry the father, with many divorces the eventual result.
JON STEWART CREAMS JIM CRAMER
COMMENT: While taking his well deserved medicine from Jon, it looked like Jim Cramer was on on some other meds (Ritalin, Prozac?). Apparently, his entire shtick (Mad Money) is a tiresome act. He was well behaved on Martha Stewart (obviously no relation) earlier Thursday but didn't show up on Morning Joe Friday AM (no more caffeine maybe?)
SYRACUSE BEATS UCONN IN RECORD 6 OVERTIMES
COMMENT: Arrogant, grossly overpaid UConn coach Jim Calhoun was his usual ungracious self afterwards, blaming everybody but himself and TNB. Why are so many college coaches so widely admired? Must be the great examples they set for their "student-athletes".
TEXAS, SOUTH CAROLINA GOVERNORS REFUSE STIMULUS MONEY
COMMENT: Apparently following the lead of Rush (I hope Obama fails) Limbaugh, these 2 enlightened conservatives believe that the strings attached to the stimulus package (e.g. improving unemployment benefits) made helping their constituents unpalatable. Better to take a "principled" stand. These guys are worse than college coaches.

Ruth should have brought in a bologna sandwich! Jon Stewart was not only well prepared, but made better mincemeat out of Jim Cramer than Martha Stewart has ever made in one of her pies!
In coming weeks, watch for Ruth to emerge from the shadows. She may be reissuing her failed kosher cookbook hoping for "notoriety" sales (like Rod Blagojevich).
Very informative! I have been behind in reading TNB but so glad I caught up. I consider your opinions helpful and have seen very few things I don't understand. Easy to read, also.
I just want to say that the last two blogs were great.
I am so sick of Rush, Bristol, Michael Steele and the rest of the Republican hypocrites.
But having said that, Madoff news never gets old. I can't wait to see Ruthie living in Section 8 housing.
Also, it seems even Jim Cramer can be embarassed. Jon Stewart has been brilliant. He is like the "King's fool", only he will speak truth to power. His CNBC story should win every award possible and be a lesson to once and future investors.
