Not much green to made if shorted Green Mountain Coffee.Ads have left Rush so may Cumulus.

Not much green to made if you shorted Green Mountain Coffee.Great earning report just yesterday and will have long term relationship with Starbucks.Last stock was 18 so many to was finish,David Einhorn said short,short the stock,maybe Einhorn was wearing his shorts to tight,less blood to the brain.Today Green Mountain Coffee is near 60.
Rush Limbaugh big mouth just might cost him a new deal with Cumulus Media(who owns WABC in New York).He has turn off advertiser with stupidity and arrogance,a man so full of himself,indeed,except for comments about media bias(where he still right on money)he full of stuff that doesn't smell so good.Limbaugh in recent years has become less of political commentator,or even an entertainer and more like cult figure,indeed,jonestown come mind something and his fellows taking Koo-aid a mindless march to defeat.

The man from Mars tells the U.K it should leave the E.U.

The man from Mars(Nigel Lawson) tells the U.K it should leave the E.U.Of course,Nigel Lawson was Chancellor of Exchequer,under Lady Thatcher.It is my understanding that Lawson is harsh critic of Cameron.But it maybe only thing save Cameron if made pulling out the E.U a campaign issue,otherwise,he I think is goner next election.
Netanyahu is visiting the middle kingdom(China).Israel does about 8 billion in trade with China Netanyahu wants to increase it 10 billion.
The Bank of China has cut off North Korea,maybe good news maybe North Korea will stop it's outrageous behavior.
Warren Buffett has bought some Archer Daniels Midland stock(good news for me I own some Archer Daniels Midland stock) also he bought John Deer,which thought of buying in 2008 after the collapse of the markets for so low but I didn't poor me.

The big media lie is that Obama has been treated more harshly then any other President.

The big media lie,is that Obama has been treated more harshly then any other President.Simply not true,not even close to the truth like the media would care.This is narrative of the mainstream media,that Obama has been single out by his opponents because his black.But most presidents,with some exceptions like Washington,maybe Eisenhower and certain not Lincoln,who like most presidents was crucify by his opponents.Now Dan Rather said,Obama opponents want cut his guts out,but this same Dan Rather who 2004 try hijack the American Presidential election by putting out fault story on President Bush deserting the National Guard.Then Lawrence O'Donnell called Mitch McConnell a racist, because he said Obama would rather have P.G.A Card then be President.Now golf is like whitest sport but according O'Donnell said he was trying to link Obama with Tiger Woods.Ironically Obama a few months later played golf with Tiger Wood did O'Donnell apologize to McConnell no!
And of course,many on the Left,including being implied by many in media said President Bush was behind 9/11.Now last I looked Bush wasn't black maybe black and blue from treatment by the mainstream media.Clinton was impeach,Reagan was called a dope senile,Nixon was hated by press,LBJ was ridicule all time and goes on and on Presidents are attack viciously by there opponents it's nature of the beast.

A Shakespearean tragedy the life of William Knowland.

Just got call from Fort Lee Library,that book I order just come in the book is,"one step from White House the rise and fall of William Knowland." William Knowland is all but forgotten now, but once was star in political world,who almost grasp the brass ring(the Presidency) and to see it all come tumbling down to the point he where he was broke and committed suicide.It is all very sad,but in a sense there is sometime romantic about tragedy,the lost cause(look Robert E. Lee and Bonnie Prince Charley are romantic figures in history)the man who almost had it all but it slip away, and indeed, like old soldier fades away into oblivion never to heard again it reminds one of that lines in Shakespeare's Macbeth,"Life's but a walking shadow,a poor player,That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,And then is heard no more ;it is tale Told by an idiot,full of sound and fury Signifying nothing.
William Knowland was born to the manor,his father was timber Barron who become congressman and ran and lost a race for U.S Senate.Knowland enter life with glory but he left it not blaze of glory but a fire of shame.In 1946 the then Governor of California Earl Warren,yes the same Earl Warren who would become very controversial and much hated by Right(ironically for Knowland was man of Right)Chief Justice of the United States,appointed Knowland to Senate of United State,indeed,the very seat his father had ran for and lost in 1914.
Knowland was handsome and bold a born leader,indeed,he rose quickly in Senate leadership and after the death of Majority leader Taft in 1953 he became at the time the youngest majority leader in history.He was know as champion for Chiang Kaishek,indeed,he was called the Senator from Formosa.When Republicans lost control of the Senate in 1955,he become minority leader and with his eyes on the prize the Presidency,he decide to ran for Governor of California in 1958.Maybe he thought,his main competition was Richard Nixon a fellow Californian,as governor he would control delegation.What ever was his reason, it was a big mistake leading to suicide both politically and in 1974 he took his own life but try to make look like accident by fire.For when he ran for governor he sold the family radio station kept the Oakland Tribute,a bad business decision that lead to his bankruptcy and by 1974 he reach the end line and committed suicide.

Someday the people of Louisiana are going to get decent government and they ain't going to like it.

Today, as I went in library in Fort Lee,where I'm running for city council, a friend of mind ask what am I going to do for him? I said,I hope the of people Fort Lee aren't like the people of Louisiana in that I want to give them decent government.I'm reminded of what Earl Long(former Governor of Louisiana and brother to Huey Long) once said,"Someday the people of Louisiana are going to get decent government and they ain't going to like it."
Earl Long is less well know then brother,however,he too was a very colorful character.Indeed,a movie was done about Earl's life called Blaze named for Earl's girlfriend the stripper,"Blaze Starr",played by very sexy Lolita Davidovich,Paul Newman plays Earl Long.It's good movie,entertaining but not great. 
I went on talk about Huey Long,how he was radical with share wealth program and it is hard say,if he was man of Right or Left.When reporter ask him,where he got the idea for his share wealth program the Communist manifesto? Long said, no the bible.Somebody ask was he Governor or Senator he was both first governor,where he was like dictator in Louisiana.A strong armed Governor,few if any in American History had power he had as Governor.Built up a powerful machine,ruthless a pure demigod but give people what they wanted hope for better life,a more just society.
In 1930 Huey Long was elected to the U.S Senate and become national figure.Much fear by Franklin D.Roosevelt(F.D.R),indeed,it was said F.D.R feared two men:Huey Long and Douglas MacARTHUR.Long was planning to ran for President in 1936,conveniently he was he was assassinated in 1935.The assassin was Dr.Carl A. Weiss who was killed immediately,and let there say no dead man can't tell no tales.Now there were two reason why the story about F.D.R being behind Long's assassination had no legs.One was F.D.R's chief accuser,Gerald L.K Smith,Long's chief of Staff,but Nazi at heart,a fiery preacher,who hated Jews(Long did not) who H.L Mencken called,"the greatness rabble-rouser since Peter the Hermit." Second reason was F.D.R bought off the Long machine,indeed,it was called the second Louisiana purchase.

Super Bowl super for CBS.Is deal in the works?

The Super Bowl was super for CBS.Because of Super Bowl and streaming profit at once and future Tiffany network saw profits beat estimates and healthy increase over last year.The earning per share were .73 beating estimate of .68 and increasing from last years .59 per share.Lots smiling faces at Black Rock and maybe merger with Time-Warner works?
Time-Warner might look at News Division.The once vaunted CBS News(undeserved in my opinion for Walter Cronkite,America's most trusted man,was untrustworthy very bias for example I remember when he said President Carter shown guts in appointing Ray Marshall as Sec. of Labor because organize labor wanted John Dunlop.Well that was misleading,while it was true Organize labor wanted Dunlop there second choice was Marshall and reason why Dunlop didn't get the job was because Women group and Civil Rights organizations opposed him because he was against affirmative action.)but wasn't Cronkite that make America people see light at very bias news at CBS it was Dan Rather story on President Bush and national guard.But under Scott Pelley(although he is a liberal)of three networks and cable CBS is most likely fairest of them all.Which might not being saying much but at least people are watching which is more then can be said about CNN.My God,when you Englishman Piers Morgan,who can't hold an America audience(nothing more Americas love then English accent)then you must be complete bore. 

Went to McGraw Hill shareholders meeting today.

Went to McGraw Hill shareholders meeting today.Took the bus over G.W Bridge got off at 175 st Subway station,gone was newsstand for many years,nothing there.Took the A train down 59 st. switch to D got off at Rockefeller Center station.Walk around it's such beautiful area,so vibrant,it is in a way,the heart beat of city,the tall building,the people busting around, it's zest of urban living.
The meeting didn't start until 11 A.m,but the place open at 10 A.M and they had so spread,fruit,cake,coffee,O.J it very nice.
Then the auditorium open up,maybe because wood but had feeling of tabernacle.Now the leader Harold McGraw was o preacher,he was cool customer,very much the WASP,indeed,he had quite enthusiastic about task often praising his staff and himself,often in mocking or humor way.Although he later come across as elitist he was likable.
Said some interest things:like developed world(the U.S and Europe and Japan) account for 50 percent of world G.D.P today in 2030 it would down to 30 percent.Said he hope the U.S G.D.P would grew this year 2.5,China at 8 and India at 6.He was upbeat about his company but the aren't they all?
