Too bad that Florida house didn't burn in the fires. Who the hell wrote that stupid poem? I wonder how much they paid to advertise it on CNBC. And another thing, or to steal Mike Barnicles' "I was just thinking", Felicia Taylor has beautiful eyes. While I'm on that subject, are Amanda Grove and Maria Bartiromo sisters or what? One more thing: Every time the social director Kate Boehner(?) comes on with her report, doesnt it remind you of the guest editorial on SNL news? One of these days, I'd like to see the Pope come out on the balcony and give a buy, sell hold rating on my crappy portfolio. Hey Griffith, what kind of suits do you wear? I dig your tailoring. See ya all on Monday. JPM

See last Friday's Wall Street Journal in their "Weekend" section, in the "Real Estate of the Rich & Ostentatious" section, this ad ran 50 times last week, all on CNBC, estimated cost of air time was $300,000 and the owner (currently trying to sell) is Mr. King of "King World Productions" which are the syndicators of "Oprah" and "Jeopardy" (or maybe "Wheel of Fortune") - whatever. His father started King World. He's probably got wazoooo bucks. They got many calls, no serious offers. This is the first time a private home has ever been advertised on nation-wide TV. Yes, I thought the poem was stupid too. Who cares about cost of maintaining it - for him, it's nothing, that's like me worrying that premium gas for my car is slightly more expensive than regular - not exactly going to make a difference as to when I retire...
