OMG! This is priceless.  Here’s a  video gem excerpt of SAC Capital’s Steven Cohen — with a full head of hair — and his wife Alex, a month into their marriage, as they appeared on the talk show “Christina” in a 1992 segment entitled “He Acts Like Her Husband, Too”.  They discussed how he was still involved with his ex-wife  Patricia (and apparently still sleeping with her some of the time, though that’s not included in the video excerpt).   Sex with the  former Mrs. Cohen ended after he and Alex got engaged.  During his marriage to Patricia, Cohen admitted there were some “financial difficulties”.   Cohen starting SAC Capital in 1992 — the same year as the below footage.   Now his  ex is suing him for guzillions and alleging that he engaged in insider trading.

The Daily Show: MBA Ethics Oath

Jon Stewart: “After months and months of dark clouds, there is some good news…”  Segue to Goldman Sachs’ huge earnings: “WE’RE BACK!!!!”  “That is the sound of raw capitalism…Stampeding!!!”

“Goldman Sachs makes $3.4 billion dollars in profit…from April to June. I guess the bailouts are working……for Goldman Sachs. How is it happening? Let me explain it to you. The U.S. Economy is basically a pyramid…”  Then he explains how Goldman is atop that pyramid….

This is WAY too funny.  Jon Stewart gets two lampoons in for the price of one on last night’s ‘The Daily Show’.  He looks at Lenny Dykstra’s rise and fall, from his days as a brainless foul mouthed jock (what the hell was he chewing?….classy!) to financial guru living the high life in his multi-million dollar estate to bankrupt delusional.  And then Stewart ties it up with a big bow mocking his old buddy Jim Cramer who’s shown ridiculously and earnestly praising Dykstra on his show as “A guy who is applying the same skills to money that he applied to sports.  It’s brilliant!”….”Not only is he sophisticated but he is one of the great ones in this business”.

Don’t miss this one.  It’s pretty hilarious.

Rene-Thierry de la Villehuchet’s widow doesn’t mince words.  She thinks that Bernie Madoff is a murderer and holds him responsible for her husband’s suicide death in December, 2008 after  the revelation that his firm, Access International Advisors, had lost as much as $1.4 billion with the Ponzi schemer. And of Ruth: she  doesn’t think that Bernie’s Mrs. knew about the scam, but she’s “not gonna feel sorry for her”…..

Next move civil war? According to the Wall Street Journal:

Iran’s supreme leader said Friday there was “definitive victory” and no rigging in disputed presidential elections, offering no concession to protesters demanding the vote be canceled and held again.

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in a rare speech at Friday prayers at Tehran University, said the election dispute was nothing more than a family disagreement within the frame of the Islamic Republic. He added that the legitimacy of the regime was never at question and all candidates had a shinning track record of serving the Islamic Republic……

Shock and awe!  What a show of force!  During an interview with CNBC’s John Harwood, President Obama cooly executed a pesky fly invading his air space. After he offed his winged nemesis with a loud crack, Harwood, obviously impressed, exclaimed “Nice!”. (Applause from the peanut gallery).   Obama: “Now where were we?”. Then Obama said: “That was pretty impressive, wasn’t it? I got the sucker.” (clearly amused / pleased with himself).

Yes he did. The camera panned in on the winged corpse on the rug.  (North Korea, Iran, and other foes, you might want to take note.)
