I love this picture almost as much as the Sender/Beeker monitor extravaganza. The sheer smugness of his expression plus his suit aboard a yacht named Positive Carry - it just slays me! Put this one in the redesigned websites Picture Hall of Fame. I would buy a punching bag with this guy's likeness.

Somebody probably just told Eddie about Eli Manning and this pursuit called "football" over the weekend. To call Eli Manning "underestimated" and equating him and Kmart to "an undrafted free agent who nobody thought had a chance to play in the big leagues" is preposterous. Hey Eddie - Eli was the #1 draft of the 2004 draft. He makes shedloads of money. He's hardly underappreciated. If you want more of a motivational "undrafted free agent" type of story, try Tom Brady a few years before that. Oh, and I don't think many people call the NFL the "big leagues." That's really more of a baseball expression. Dweeb.
It always ticks me off when NPR tries to talk sports. Add hedge fund weenies to that list.

Math 55 is advertised in the Harvard catalog as “prob­ably the most difficult undergraduate math class in the country.” That is just SO Harvard! I guess they really institutionalize the self-love God-complex thing there.

I love how Spitzer busts Wall Streeters for jay-walking, but then this is a "private matter."

Hopefully it'll be the feds and not Cuomo investigating Spitzer. Cuomo is Spitzer's pet monkey.
I suspect the proud citizens of NY paid for Spitzer's cellphone, the hotel room, the security who looked the other way, etc., making this not just a private matter.
I also have a nagging suspicion that a customer wouldn't be called "Client #9" on his first exchange!! There's plenty more still to come.
