Suze Orman’s Life Story, Condensed
Women's Wear Daily has published a short biography of Suze Orman, 57-year-old CNBC personality, Oprah repeat-guester, and aggressive promoter of financial advice and self. Her father's poultry shop burned down when she was a child ("Daddy was a failed man."). At age 30, she lost $50,000 of borrowed money in oil futures, which led her to give up her dream of opening a restaurant and instead enter a training program at Merrill Lynch to pay back the money. Her second book agent—the one who helped shoot her to the top—told her she had to lose 30 pounds to be marketable. And so on: seeing how someone aggressively pursues media stardom is a sausage-making experience. (That same agent says, "I just thought, 'Great. Finally an author who knows she can't write.'")

"Crazy" Jim Cramer Takes This Opportunity To Gloat
About a year ago, CNBC's Jim Cramer completely lost his sh*t on CNBC, screaming at Bernanke to lower interest rates before millions of borrowers went into foreclosure. Now, as the "Armageddon" that he was carrying on about is in full swing, Cramer is taking this opportunity to gloat. More » -
