1. Thanks. I plan to sleep in

I figure DU will find something to be "outraged" about around 10:15 or so.

3. jim cramer on MTP? sheeeeesh

[Screwball]

4. Really!

The only thing Cramer should be on is the unemployment line.

[LuvNewcastle]

6. They have Greenspan on the same show.

I thought he had been thoroughly discredited by now.

[Sebastian Doyle]

11. He should have been discredited the moment he admitted that lunatic Ayn Rand was his idol

Anyone who takes that nutcase seriously has no business being in charge of ANYTHING, much less manipulating the nation's financial system.

Now I have to figure out what to make for breakfast.

9. Curious what is or what was Stollen?

[OffWithTheirHeads]

10. German Christmas bread. Yum!

Country or region of origin: Germany

Type of flour used: wheat flour - usually unbleached or all-purpose

Description: A German festival bread that is popular during the Christmas season not only in Germany, but in many other parts of the world as well, especially other European countries and parts of the United States. Stollen is a rich yeast bread that is loaded with currants and raisins that have been soaked in rum and is also flavored with lemon zest, cardamom, candied peel, and almonds.

The bread is shaped into a long oval that is tapered at the ends to symbolize the baby Jesus wrapped in swaddling clothes. The dough is often rolled around a center filling of almond paste made of ground almonds, sugar, and a bit of egg and lemon juice. Some recipes omit the almond paste center, but instead call for chopped almonds to be incorporated in the dough. The bread is often dusted with powdered sugar before it is served. Stollen is also known as Christmas Stollen, Christollen, and Dresden or Dresdner Christollen after the city of Dresden, Germany where the bread originated.
