…is, according to this article in Sunday’s New York Post, mine:
JEFF KREISLER – “I went to the Inauguration in DC. I feel bad for Bush — I’ve had bad days, done things I’m not proud of, but I’ve never performed so poorly that when I left, they threw a party with 2 million people and Bono.”

Performed in Toledo Friday night. Sponsored by the Univ. Toledo College Democrats. Fun group, good times. Here’s a nice write up by the school paper: Nothing off limits in Kreisler comedy act
Favorite pull quote:
“While he joked about the environment, gays, politics… he focused on how America needs to solve its problems by being unified and more educated. It’s nice how he turns these things on their heads and makes them funny.”
One of my favorite comedy blogs – one that, IMHO, is the most consistently interesting, informed, and useful – is thecomicscomic, run by my friend Sean McCarthy.
I just fooled him into writing about my random Cramer-Stewart connection. Despite weak material (i.e. me), he did a great job. Read it here.
I used to write the Funny Money column for Jim Cramer’s TheStreet.com.
You may wonder, “Jeff, is that where you got the idea for ‘Get Rich Cheating‘?”
This video of him admitting that he manipulated the market for his own gain (cleverly broadcast just after the statute of limitations for such actions ran out), would suggest “yes.”
Especially since it’s mentioned on page 249. For reals.
p.s. The guy interviewing him is my good friend, Aaron Task, so leave him be. As for Cramer, I worked for him for 3 years, had great numbers despite being buried on Sundays, and he wouldn’t even read my book. So f ‘im.
