		<description>Hey Gasparino, what do you think is going on now if not &quot;huge government expenditures&quot;?  I hope Obama levies &quot;massive tax increases&quot; on the overpaid CNBC blowhards like you, Cramer, and Kudlow.

		<description>Why do you call this idiot a pal? especially after that deeply condescending final paragraph in his note to you?

		<description>O, and to this: &quot;And with all due respect Barry, I didn&#039;t even know who you were until...&quot;-- CGas

It is no wonder that he gets referred as &#039;GasBag&#039;-arino..You just have to luv the spectacle of one Blowing up his own ***.

There isn&#039;t a lens in existence that could correct the aberration, logical and otherwise, that he suffers from.

BR, as others have noted, you were kind enough to refer to him as a &#039;pal&#039;, it seems obvious, in that regard, the old adage has been proven, yet again.  towit: &quot;No good deed...&quot;

what a waste of Time, though the good news is, I learned some more about Snakes after 2X checking &#039;vituperative&#039;..

		<description>wunsa-

with this: &quot;Seems the public lacks the will to do anything until there&#039;s a crisis, because they&#039;re watching sports and sitcoms.&quot; are you trying to tell us that: while rootin&#039; for the Browns one night, J4P, from Lorain, had an epiphany that CO2 was going to &#039;ruin his World&#039;...so he rented a mule and began his trek to spread &#039;the Word&#039; about CC nee` GW?

Bud, if that&#039;s the case, I hope you have a large truck, b/c I can find all kinds things to Sell you..

Back to Today, you should know that this GHG-induced AGW Hoax has been hatched long ago, a chick no more, now fully-fledged and on the wing, ready to drop its load of * all over us.

Put the Goalposts back where they belong, for if you don&#039;t, you&#039;ll be keeping score of, and have it kept for you, Carbon Credits, points that&#039;ll never win any game you&#039;d want to Play.

past that, this:

Where have you gone, Barry Goldwater? A nation turns its lonely eyes to you....

Posted by: Dr. Kenneth Noisewater &#124; Oct 14, 2008 10:32:30 AM

is nice to see. AuH2O was the right formula in &#039;64, and, curiously, will be the correct Investment Advice for the next 64 years.

		<description>I love all these &quot;free market&quot; guys who &quot;hate&quot; government intervention and hate taxes, except when the government is giving them money and lower their taxes. CNBC is a source of morbid &quot;entertainment&quot; not a source of financial enlightenment. You want real information? Watch Bloomberg.  Gasparino and Kudlow are just sad clowns. Again, being on TV working for a network doesn&#039;t make you either intelligent or reliable, it makes you a reporter, and reporters, with all due respect to reporters, are just parrots and give no insight or depth to anything.

		<description>The headline I just read over on Bloomberg.com was that &quot;...stocks drop on concern about corporate profits...&quot;

Did someone interview some statistically significant sample of stock sellers to see why they were selling?

And the buyers, to see why they were buying?

Did someone do that on Monday, or any other previous day before conjuring headlines touting the reasons for the market&#039;s rise or fall?

Even had they done such intensive research in such a short time span, would it have had any predictive value?

Long after the fact, we may discern why a particular era yields declines or advances.  We fairly well understand the cause for the market crashes in &#039;29, &#039;32, &#039;87, et al.

But for anybody to take a day, or even a short series of days, and attempt to fix upon the market&#039;s actions a cause so vague and several steps removed as the prospects of whether one or another is elected president is the essence of overreach in analysis--particularly when neither candidate is substantially different than the other in their pronouncements of public policy that might affect the markets.  They both supported the bailout, and its prospects of passage or failure seemed to somewhat move the markets, but even that is just pure speculating.

Attributing market moves to either candidate&#039;s election prospects is just politically-biased speculating, and should be ignored.

		<description>Did Gasparino seriously just tell Barry to go speak to more people?  Is he aware of the fact 24,249 &quot;people&quot; are subscribed to this blog?

Sure, Charlie breaks news for CNBC - but that essentially makes him a great parrot, or fly on the wall, not a man of the people.

The man who blogs his analysis, puts it on the record and is right more often than not, is the man of the people.

Regards,
George

		<description>Reversed causality indeed.  Obama is doing so well in the polls directly due to the poor economy and market.  The market is telling us we need a change and Obama is what we need.

		<description>Gasparino is an embarrassment. He&#039;s always spewing Republican talking points on CNBC. His reporting on Lehman was borderline criminal. And, he&#039;s a jerk to boot!
