95 Year-Old Jack LaLanne On Healthcare Reform, Exercise, Diet, And Sleeping With Richard Simmons
Jack LaLanne visited with Neil Cavuto yesterday to promote his new book Live Young Forever. Not only could he lay waste to Pandit and Geithner in bare-fisted Brazilian jujitsu, or pretty much any style death-match those punks could throw at him, but he operates with the smooth understanding that at his age he can say whatever the hell he wants, especially about Richard Simmons. Some would say entertaining, others might reach for a motion-sickness bag. Oh and then there was LaLanne's self-referential comment regarding his male prodigiousness. Like we said, he's 95 freaking years old. What are you gonna do about it? Cavuto's crew loses it.
Madoff The Failed Matador (Photo & Sculpture)
Did you hear the one about the guy who stole $20 billion and then had his ass perforated by a bronze bull?
Chinese artist Chen Wenling critiques the global financial crisis in What You See Might Not Be Real, on display at a Beijing gallery. The bull is said to represent Wall Street, while the man pinned to the wall represents jailed financier Bernard Madoff.
Financial Comedy Break: Elephant In The Room
Watch what happens to Sir Alan Greenspan and British PM Gordon Brown in this spoof of the BBC program 'Question Time.' Bloody freaking brilliant.
Julian Robertson Wonders: "Who Will Lend Us The Money?" (Video)
- "It's almost Armageddon if the Japanese and Chinese don't buy our debt.”
- “It's not a question of the economy. It's a question of who will lend us the money if they don't. Imagine us getting ourselves in a situation where we're totally dependent on those two countries. It's crazy.”
- “If the Chinese and Japanese stop buying our bonds, we could easily see [inflation] go to 15 to 20 percent."
- “The other thing is, they're buying almost exclusively short-term debt. And that's what we are offering, because we can't sell the long-term debt. And you know, the history has been that people who borrow short term really get burned.”
- "The U.S. has to quit spending, cut back, start saving, and scale backward. Until that happens, I don't think we're anywhere near out of the woods.”
The Daily Show Extended Interview: Bill Clinton With Jon Stewart
Three clips totaling 19 minutes. Former President Bill Clinton with Jon Stewart, broadcast September 17, 2009. This is the unedited version including about 6 minutes of footage not shown on air. Some interesting discussion of the do's and dont's of negotiating with North Korean nut-job Kim Jong Il, the Supreme Leader and talented golfer who once shot a 34 (on a par 72 track--38 under par) with 5 holes in one.
Ratigan And Ron Paul Discuss Bailout Transparency, Bad Collateral & Sending Bernanke Back To Princeton
Another outstanding clip from last week, broadcast Thursday on MSNBC's Morning Meeting. Dylan and Congressman Paul engage in a free-flowing discussion of Federal Reserve transparency and Paul's bill HR 1207 to audit the Fed. There is some mention of the possibility for collateral shock when the Bernanke balance sheet is finally revealed. The Bloomberg FOIA request for Fed sunshine and Matthew Winkler's recent editorial are also in play in this segment.
G-20 Riot Squads Use Tear Gas On Trapped University Of Pittsburgh Students (Shock Video) UPDATED

What Happens When The U.S. Government Turns It's Weapons On Its Own People?
These 2 clips are offensive on several levels. In the first, a group of non-protesting, University of Pittsburgh students watching the events unfold from a parking garage above, are first trapped by riot police and then bombarded by tear gas, with no exit. One onlooker is bleeding from the neck where she was presumably shot in the throat either by a rubber bullet or from a direct hit with a tear gas cannister.
In the 2nd clip, a tan late-model, Ford Crown Vic comes flying into the camera's view when riot police dressed in army fatigues quickly jump from the screeching vehicle and grab one particular protestor and stuff him into the backseat before speeding away. This is not a good sign.

- The phone number for the office of Fed general counsel Alvarez is 202-452-3583.

- His number again, is 202-452-3583.

The hearing has begun...Our notes are inside...
Dylan Ratigan Rant: "Whether It's Fear From The Right Or Guilt From The Left, You Are All Eating this Country From The Gut, And It Has Got To Stop!"
This is a screaming must-see clip. Go immediately to the 1:00 minute mark. Ratigan essentially cuts off Brad Blakeman's face after the Republican Congressman says his party will wait to present their solutions at election time 2010. This is beautiful live TV. There is no one else like Dylan Ratigan anywhere on cable or network television.
