(I don't really think we are anywhere close to the bottom.) ...I now see why they call it Fox. There are some real cuties on there. Due to their leaning, that is about all I expect to get from FBN. CNBC has become a cesspool of politics. LK and others like him think they are masters of the universe when in fact it is their kind of thinking that has fucked everything up. He is nothing more than a mouthpiece for the 5%. Interesting that CNBC is affiliated with NBC which leans to the left. I wonder if CNBC will moderate their programming as a result of the sea change evidenced by the election. At times, I can detect a reaction from some of the others on CNBC when they see how little Kudlow cares about anyone other than himself and others like him.

Ah, it's so refreshing to see one of the responsible parties get theirs. It's a start. Hey Scholes, you're next.

The world was going to end if they didn't get the money to lend us (ha ha) and now they decide to use it for mergers? What a crock!
