- Wait... Not summer quite yet. Rain in the valley...
- The Warriors looked like they just ran out of gas last night. And you have to wonder if they'll be able to win one of the next two. I'm pulling for them. But maybe I was a bit premature in trying to find Mallory some post-NBA season work.
- Even Erin Burnett seems to find new highs in the DOW boring these days. It's ho-hum. We're all watching the SP500 to see if it can go beyond 1527 (or whatever the old high is). If you're waiting for the Nasdaq, however... er. Lucy, you've got sum waitin' to do....
- Well, peace in the Middle East may seem impossible, but not in the sim world. A new video game called PeaceMaker allows you to play the part of the Israeli prime minister or the Palestinian president and make diplomatic, security and economic decisions. Now watch 13-yr old gamers due what adults have been unable to do!
- CNBC Stock Gambling Contest? Fell to top 13% after yesterday. Today, selling all of 'em (MET, TEVA, and OII) and buying APPB, DLB, LVS and PDLI and hoping for some after the bell earnings gap-uppage. I think Cisco is coming up on tuesday, FWIW. You know John Chambers. He used to like to do the happy dance on earnings day. Kind of died down a bit in recent years.
- Yeah, we're bored with the DOW making new highs every few hours. How about American Idol winning the weekly ratings war every week? I watched last night, and think Jordan was the least impressive. But I hope she stays on. I thought Blake did an interesting take. Melinda was great. Lakisha was great. If I was The Decider, I'd pick Chris or Paul to leave. Not sure if those are the right names. But the "white guys not named Blake" seem vulnerable to me.
- Miami Dolphins drafted Hawaii fullback Reagan Mauia in the 6th round. He used to weigh 380 pounds. Watch him run through a wall.
