In case the last post depressed you. In the US, the Colbert Report is a kind of one man ‘Have I Got News for You‘. Jim Cramer is a celebrity market pundit, former hedge fund manager, and self-confessed sharp practitioner. Yet Cramer is more concerned about dissposessed homeowners than turmoil in the debt markets and the share sell-off, and it’s Colbert defending the excesses of American capitalism. Americans do get irony!
