Michelle Caruso-Cabrera's Nipples are Showing on CNBC

Her headlights were on again today! Briefly they were on and then the batteries actually went out on em all while the camera was on her! Pretty cool. Someone must have capped it or TiVod it.

I just finished watching Power Lunch today. Michelle, Sue, and the other fellow did a quality job. Michelle once again displayed a diverse array of questions when interviewing guests. At one point, she made the comment,"all publicity is good publicity".

One of the segments on the show featured the discovery of oil off the coast of Brazil. I found this segment quite informative, as I have never visited Brazil. It would be nice for CNBC to lend publicity to all Latin American countries. Today was Brazil, why not another country of Latin America in the future, and so forth? I'm just an ignorant WASP, and would like to expand my education.

All of the CNBC caste were dressed very professionally. I also appreciated the segment dedicated to the art sale both yesterday, and today. Michelle will go very far if she continues to work very hard.

I see Michelle must be working overtime today. This is good. She's filling in for Maria. Does Maria still want to be on the air or is she happy being the trophy of a billionaire? It's clear from my observation, Michelle would be the trophy of no man wealthy or poor. She cares too much about her career, and her purpose. I detect this reporter understands what struggle means.

To borrow a Charles Dickens like expression, "Me Buttons", what a great Power Lunch Show! Today, everyone, Sue H., Rick S, Dennis, Charlie G., Mary T., David F., Bill G., Michelle, all of the support personnel, and the special guests gave viewers a genuinely informative, interesting, relevant, product of television. All possessed an extremely professional look.

I was happy to see Mr. Steve L., and Mr. Rick S. refrain from ESPN like behavior as displayed earlier in the week. The quality of the show was enhanced overall at that point as a result. Well done gentlemen!

I was glad to see the visit once again to Brazil, and the segment dedicated to agriculture. It was also nice to see the clip about Tuscany, Italy. However, as an American who lived in Europe for over 4 years, I find the suggestion of visiting Italy any time soon impractical for anyone other than the wealthy. It boils down simply to the value of the dollar.

Why doesn't CNBC invite Mr. Volker to the show to discuss the dollar? I am not sure of the quality of his health, but he would be a good man on this issue. President Reagan believed in a strong dollar, and all things point to the weakness of the dollar as being the culprit for our current economic challenges. I'd also like to see other politicians quizzed to move in the general direction of dollar strengthening.

Mr. Dylan R. also contributed to the show with his confident demeanor, and impeccable apparel.

One caveat to the ladies of CNBC. I am not looking to watch another B. J. Walters. She is a one of a kind person. Be yourselves, be confident, explore the realm of possibilities as you engage in each interview. Let the person getting interviewed feel at ease. Let your particular interview skills shine. I could order old B. J. Walters interviews if I wanted to watch them.

Gentlemen, I love quality humor in conjunction with information.

On another note, as a viewer. Occasionally, it appears Becky, and Mark H. have a bite of food in their mouth while in front of the camera. If this is so, I can tell. Please feed these people prior to going on show if this observation is correct. I find both of them to be outstanding in all other areas.

Overall, this Friday Power Lunch Show was super! With that, I must tip to you all my Victorian hat, and once again, I must say, "Me Buttons!"

Today, the breath of spring looking lady in pink discussed the farm bill with some political types. At one point during the discussion, she asked about farm subsidization. She received a response from one of the gentlemen which stated, "she didn't sound like an objective reporter". He took it personally.

Michelle took responsibility for the question, demonstrated moxie, and stayed focused on the issue. Politicians will often resort to personal attacks when issues set the table.

It's intuitively obvious to this casual observer, quality financial reporters don't always make/develop friendships by asking the tough questions. However, difficult, sometimes non-popular questions can effectuate, and initiate change in the political thinking of the masses.

For the record, I grew up on a farm. And, concur categorically with the thinking of the feisty lady in pink!

On this day, once again, Michelle has earned my STAMP of approval!

...isleepwell...

I want it to reverberate from the highest of mountains, "let the dollar rise", from Georgia to Washington, from Chicago to New York, from coast to coast, to all the financial centers, and numbered bank accounts throughout the world. The US dollar will rise again. Strengthen the dollar, and we shall overcome. Oh DOLLAR, for whom THE BELL tolls, it TOLLS FOR THEE!

Some people say, it's not about the dollar. And, to those nonbelievers I say the dollar rise will bring the commodity prices to realistic valuations. Remember Ronald Reagan, the champion of a strong dollar.

All of these energy concerns happened before. Remember Jimmy Carter sitting in the White House with a sweater discussing the energy crisis with the "It's Real" speech. Read a book by Leon Mosley called "Power Play". It discusses that four letter word--OPEC in great detail.

Is this deja vu? Could this be a crisis we all once knew? Are all members of OPEC, happy with each other? What could cause this OPEC to become the OPEC of other days? Do I feel my wallet strengthening, or am I simply dreaming?

...isleepwell...

Ah, another day without the caste of CNBC, and Michelle, but 2 words spoken by her early in the day, lifted my spirits, and made me smile in a silly way. The organic farming segment conducted by Joe K. wasn't quite sheer silk. Michelle afterwards uttered, "GOT MILK"!

...isleepwell...

At one point while walking on this planet, I heard it said, that the color red stimulates the appetite. On this day Michelle (the lady in red), and the Power Lunch team satisfied my hunger for news.

I was pleased to see the segment on Columbia. I'm glad to see it as an up, and coming nation. The drug lord stigma for the country seems to remain omnipresent. Michelle asked a question implicating the thug named Hugo as a supporter of terrorism. The gentleman getting interviewed couldn't adequately address the issue, but highlighted Columbia as a country with a business future.

Politics was covered extensively as well. It's refreshing to live in a country where elections can get held freely. I am concerned about the safety of candidates, and hope Mr. Obama, and Mr. McCain possess the very best security personnel available. The last thing this country needs is a catastrophic event due to a lacking security force for presidential candidates. Let the election happen, and let the peoples' choice prevail!

And, OH, DOLLAR...for whom THE BELL TOLLS, it tolls FOR THEE!

I need to purchase an "Open It" gizmo. Years of hardship opening batteries can now be over for me.

On another note, to all the CNBC family, I offer my heart felt condolences on the recent loss of one of your own. I wish you all only the best always.

Oh Michelle,

For a while you have gone...
not to a place called Babylon, but to an Emerald Isle.

You elect to go in style.
And watch the water surround,
until the sun goes...
the sun goes
down.

And, I'm here....
at ARLINGTON
a veteran who has won,
and having fun.

Your logic does excite,
and your colors do ignite the flame to learn.
Oh, the flame to learn!

Help, help me discern
investment wrong from right... Oh, oh, oh...
IT'S NOT THE OCEAN...KEEP ME FROM EMOTION!!!

Dear Michelle...i am but a mere student of the game, and for me...you are a Bold Ruler by Somethingroyal.
Horses...i love them so!!!

Perhaps one day all Americans will get to walk freely in Havana...or do some people still say...Habana? Perhaps we can toss the pill, (a baseball) for fun.

Horses, horses, I love horses, and meals without too many courses!
