Joana, Shame you don't have cable. If you did you would know that some people out there really have no sense of humor. Joe K. this morning proved he has KAHOONIES. I guess yesterday someone called Joe K. "Mr. Kahoonas" and people actually sent in mail to CNBC bitching about the use of Mr. Kahoonas. CNBC, since you can not say what you would like and I can, here is a response you can seen to people with a stick up their anus. Dear CNBC viewer, My name is BLUE and I am the new self-appointed shareholder CEO of GE, thus responsible for Jack, GE and CNBC as well. I'm sure you are wondering why an important man like myself would take the time to write to you but I do so when something really needs to be said. At the moment we are doing a team building exercise and many of my employees are playing soft ball. I'd like to be with them but your concerns are more important than a soft ball game. Team sports are good for any corporation or employee, I just hope none of our employees get hurt. Have you ever been hit in the balls before? Boy can that hurt! Now down to the issue, the CNBC morning crew. No matter how I try to have them act like drones and not have a sense of humor, everyday someone rocks the boat, tries to have a good time, or act like most people do. That really takes a set of kahoonies to say things that you know will upset someone. To be honest we've had problems with off-color comments before. Hurtful things like someone saying "Bond Babe". Well as Captain of this ship I can assure you I run a tight ship and I take your comment that you were "horrified" to hear such language to heart. I will do something about it, you can bet your kahoonies on that. I've had problems before with that morning crew but this "Mr. Kahoonas" comment is crossing the line. I'm going down to the Ft. Lee studio right after I finish this letter and kicking a few people in the party mix, in the nuts. Then I'm going over to the soft ball game and kick some balls around to set an example. Anything it takes to make YOU happy. Again thank you for bringing to our attention, employees who are acting human or trying to have a little fun, we will have none of that at CNBC. If you have any problems or concerns in the future please use these private web sites to notify me iwant2bustballs.com or kahoonies.com Sincerly, BLUE Shareholder President, CEO, and all around good guy
