"Nowadays, you can't turn on the TV without some talking head telling you about the economy. Yet, in a world overrun by 'analysts,' only one man has the guts, the brains, and, quite frankly, the poetry to put it all in perspective.That man is Michael Silverstein... Silverstein is a true intellectual." — Gersh Kuntzman, The New York Post

"Few people have found much to laugh about in the stock market this year. Michael Silverstein is the exception. The Bard of the Bourse can find humor in losing money, globalization and stock options." — USA Today

A Message To The
Terminally Timid

The Democrats act timidly,
Defeated or victorious,
Which leaves their backers sad, confused,
And many others furious.

Republicans, they're not like that,
Come win or lose, they don't give ground,
Then when elections fall their way
Their chosen changes soon abound.

So here's a message from the left
To Democrats too long supine:
You want to keep us in you camp,
Start showing us some real spine.
