For some reason I was missing this guy today:

Financial news seems lacking without Beaker around to utter some new idiocy.

Care to give us more context for those of us who don't follow the talking heads religiously?

If you never saw him, well good for you, you didn't miss anything. This post is for those who did, and remember him saying "I'll be back" bragging how his career would rebound.

A year ago or three, he was the #1 dimwit "journalist" on CNBC. Way ahead of Jim Cramer and far more deserving IMO of a good Jon Stewart roasting. Used to get in pissing matches with the blogger who commented about him too.

My favorite bit was he'd get these guys on like Schiff who were talking about macro market decimation stuff, then start asking them to "pick a stock" that would be a winner despite the downturn. Here ya go:

Anyhow I caught the Muppets trailer, and thought of Beaker, which made me think of Dennis Kneale. Then I started wondering where he was. So far as I can tell, nowhere. I guess the large number of Google hits for "Dennis Kneale idiot" will now decay.

Oh yeah, can't stand this guy.

Bloomberg is much better with a lot less of the "rah-rah! go bull market! Taxes suck! Yay! " tone

My #1 peeve on CNBC is Cokey Kudlow.

You must not be watching FBN, Fox Business News. Dennis has been on there for at least two months now and seems happy with his move. He's on throughout the day when the markets are open.
