Ladies Day

A great morning for the ladies. Two very impressive, smart, dedicated women showed up on the CNBC Squawk Box this morning. Arianna Huffington, who most of you have probably heard of and Elizabeth Warren who most of you have never heard of. Arianna runs the Huffington Post, an internet newspaper that is wonderful, not your everyday daily (www.huffingtonpost.com). Elizabeth is the Chairwoman of the Congressional Oversight Panel, which oversees the Government stimulus plan. I've seen Elizabeth on TV a few times and I've read about her books and essays, which cover subjects that are dear to my heart, like the crushing of the middle class in this country. To get a flavor of who this woman is go to www.youtube.com. "Conversations with History" or look under her name for some great videos. You can also get acquainted with Arianna Huffington on YouTube under name and "Authors@Google: Arianna Huffington". These two women have both been elected to the "Time 100 Most Influential People". President Obama can be proud of having these two brilliant women in his constituency. I'm proud.
Follow up on these two, it will be very enlightening, guaranteed!
One more item. Eliot Spitzer was on board this morning. I can't believe that I would listen to him, but I did, and learned a lot more from listening now than when he was Governor of NY. Funny, how time changes attitudes??? I'll save that for another time.
Debi, how did your operation go? I hope that you came through with flying colors.
