Friday’s Open Thread
It’s been a busy week at DL and across the blogosphere. Cassandra reminds us that Tea bagging is all the rage, while DelawareDem has outdone himself with this week’s Around The Horn. LG waxes lyrical over Jensen in a post that brought tears to my eyes, and Jason compiles a poll that begs the option of all of the above. XStryker serenades us nightly, ‘Bulo keeps reminding us that elections do matter, and DV puts up a must see video on Sky Dad! Me? I’m talking ‘bout sex.
Ultimately, this post’s for you, dear Reader. So what’s on your mind?
(BTW, thanks nemski for starting the open threads. They’re a lot more work than I thought!)

I assume most of y’all have Easter plans on Sunday, but if not, here’s something fun to do. Rachel Schain (my wife) is playing at the Bellefonte Cafe (804 Brandywine Blvd) on Sunday from noon till 3pm. Good food, good music, good times, come on down!
‘Bulo had the privilege of seeing Rachel perform at Mojo 13 this week. Suffice it to say that the X-Man married well above his station…
Nouriel Roubini (the guy who predicted our current crash) calls out Jim Cramer:
Just weeks after “The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart took Cramer to task for trying to turn finance reporting into a “game,” famous bear economist Nouriel Roubini criticized Cramer on Tuesday for predicting bull markets.
“Cramer is a buffoon,” said Roubini, a New York University economics professor often called Dr. Doom. “He was one of those who called six times in a row for this bear market rally to be a bull market rally and he got it wrong. And after all this mess and Jon Stewart he should just shut up because he has no shame . . .”
Cramer recently wrote in a blog that Roubini is “intoxicated” with his own “prescience and vision” and said Roubini should realize that things are better since the stock market’s recent bottom in early March.”
I guess Cramer thinks that if he predicts that the market is going to go up everyday over the next ten years he will be correct eventually.
An article for Smitty.
An except won’t do this thing justice. You really have to read the whole thing.
Jason, I think that the only prediction Cramer cares about is the one that involves his paycheck being deposited every two weeks to his account.
X-Man – You got any videos of your wife?
No, I mean of her playing music on Youtube or sumpin’.
Alas, from the title I thought this was about a national chain restaurant.
lol.
A1, yeah there are several videos. I’m on the iphone at the moment so I can’t link to them directly, but if you go to http://www.YouTube.com/user/rachelschainmusic you’ll get them. The best quality ones are under my favorites.
