Power Lunch

Watching that mid afternoon show Power Lunch on CNBC really makes you want to jam an ice-pick into your skull. The group of anchors babble almost incoherently over one another which feels like you are watching the adult version of the Muppet Babies. I’ve said it before but these CNBC’s shows have one major down-fall, they are like Sports-Talk for adults. There is a lot of yapping and almost no substance and CNBC goes with a very quirky formula of hot anchors and dull dudes.

Power Lunch is the one I watch on the treadmill most days

Michelle Caruso-Cabrera.

Really annoying but in a sort of sexy slutty school-teacher way. From my reading she’s a complete shill for the pro-business anti-Obama camp as she mocks every plan the new administration brings to the table. She seems like the kind of pompous full-of-herself chick you know is completely insecure.

Sue Herera

She is reason enough why they shouldn’t allow fat chicks on TV. She wears the absolute most heinous skirt-suits and she’s got these big-fat tree trunks for legs. She has that whole I’m only 36 but look like I’m 52 look going.

Bill Griffeth

This guy just comes across as a cranky Mr Rogers who sits over to the side and always looks a bit constipated, I’d be grumpy too if I had to work with those two broads as they never shut up

Dennis Kneale

This dude just looks like he’s way too happy at any given time and it’s scary. It seems that his role is kind of the Power-Lunch version of Al Roker as they make him do all sorts of stupid segments.

The irony is of course the name 'power-lunch' which implies a mid-morning meeting with important people which is about the furthest thing from the actual truth.
Well yesterday this power-lunch team discussed the automobile industry and said that the ‘cash for clunkers’ program jolted the automobile industry to a rate of 16 million cars per year. Now this is not like they sold 16 million cars but instead got two weeks of sales which IF it could be maintained they would get to 16 million cars again. Well you could not believe how much these idiots were fawning over the sales reports but then in the same breath started beating down the cash for clunkers concept. You can’t have it both ways here people. Either jump on board or shoot the boat down but you can’t hedge your bets with everything you do.
