my morning

when i'm not immediately running out the door, my morning takes on a pretty fixed structure. make coffee, check yesterday's numbers, watch cnbc and eat breakfast.

instead of the normal Morning Call program being on, this morning i was treated to Ben Bernanke's testimony to the congressional oversight committee. the oversight committee is divided into 3 groups, the smart, the retards, and the tricky bastards. it was very informative to hear Mr. Bernanke answer the smart folks. it was even better watching him make stupid people look even dumber. at one point, i'm surprised he didn't just look at the congresswoman and say "well duh!". but the best, by far, was when a congressman was trying to get Bernanke to say something rash to strike up some fear to benefit the congressman's cause. mr. bernanke waltzed around the question, called out the congressman, and verbally bitchslapped him for trying to do so.

and i thought Greenspan was good.
