SAY IT AIN'T SO, JOE
Oh no, he didn't? Did Joe Scarborough compare Jon Stewart to Bill O'Reilly?
This has all the makings of a feud that may extend beyond the levels of the Jim Cramer/Stewart brouhaha. After Stewart responded to Scarborough's response to Stewart's segment earlier this week, Scarborough brought it all back up again this morning. He made some short jokes and, ironically enough, described Stewart as a "very angry guy". Stay tuned. This will be fun.

GUARDING THE BACON
Sheila Bair was reappointed by President Obama to head the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. A Republican, she is protecting the interest of taxpayers as no Democrat has in this administration. Huge financial decisions are being made by the government, involving trillions in future obligations of U.S. taxpayers, and Bair has been a rare effective voice for the interests of ordinary folk. That is why the big guys on Wall Street and their allies in the administration are out to get her.

Kansas City - Fat City - Nothing to see here folks. Rockstar Energy drink is in no way connected with Michael Savage.
BITTER TEA
Michael Savage's "Savage Nation" holds the third-largest radio audience in the country. His son is the founder of the popular Rockstar Energy drinks. Savage is using legal means to silence Web sites and even Facebook groups publicizing any connection between the two. Just to be clear, Michael Savage (real name Michael Weiner) has no connection to Rockstar. Even though his son is the founder and CEO and even though his wife is both secretary and treasurer for Rockstar, Michael Savage is shocked that this would lead some Web sites to believe that he has any connection with the company. In fact, as far as we know, Savage has never even heard of the energy drink that shares the same mailbox as his company.

BASEBALL AND THE "LITTLE EASY"The Mobile Satchel Paige returned to in 1923 was full of optimism. The Great War had been good to the city, expanding Alabama's only deep-water port and making Mobile a trading hub for products as varied as lumber, tractors, and blackstrap molasses. Mardi Gras was back after a wartime siesta, as was the city's reputation as the Little Easy. It was less commercial and more free-spirited than its Big Easy neighbor to the West, New Orleans. Mobile joyfully embraced prostitution and intoxication and disdained the old evangelist Sam Jones, who a generation earlier had declared, "I'd be a stockbroker in hell before I'd be a director of a Mardi Gras . . . [where] men are drunk and carousing on the streets and girls go about in men's clothing." Keep it up, Jones admonished Mobilians, and "your city will be damned eternally."
