Cramer decided to brave The Daily Show and answer Jon Stewart himself. The result is one of the best interviews I have ever seen. I don't know about anything else, but why do we have to look to a comedy show for this interview? (For context you can scroll down or or click here to watch the previous clips about Cramer that prompted this visit by Cramer).

Fun stuff in depressing times
Last week, Jon Stewart decided to rip into CNBC. By the end, I was left with more faith in astrology than the talking heads. It's one of his best segments this year ... hilarious!
Then, Cramer complained. He felt he was taken out of context. Huh? Baiting The Daily Show? Well, here's Jon Stewart's response. Poor Cramer. Why is he allowed on TV again?
On the subject of faith in things that are completely unsubstantiated, like "experts" on TV, here's Joel Stein critiquing the lack of faith in science of liberals. It is hugely entertaining and so very accurate.
Finally, I have been depressed of late of the complete dearth of conservative ideas that address the current economic woes. I was so relieved, therefore, to read David Brooks, finally, critique Obama's policies in an intelligent way. If only conservatives could have adopted such a posture, we might have the response we needed to the crisis instead of the response we settled on, which will probably prove inadequate (I hope I am proved wrong in this).
PS: I must give a shout out to Grain of Sand, who had presciently predicted in November that we would see the type of shocking performance of GM we have witnessed in recent weeks. It might have been cheaper to put the GM staff in the US on a government payroll and start from scratch! Chapter 11 anyone? It's what its there for.

Sheer brilliance in comedy!!
Jon Stewart again. The Daily Show Team is brilliant. 4 mins 50 sec into the clip there is an brilliant juxtaposition of McCain and Bush. It shows better than I ever could what I was trying to express a few days ago, that McCain has no new ideas.
... and this is probably best introduction to McCain you'll see. Its irreverent, but very funny. Enjoy.
