"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

About Silverstein's Verse

 

In some countries, when the choices on the ballot aren’t good ones, people can pull the NOTA (None Of The Above) lever. Maybe here in the United States, where the leading choices for President always seem to come down to a Bush or a Clinton, when a two party system has devolved into a two family system, we ought to have a similar option.

A NOTA Limerick

I’ve become a dissatisfied voter,
And now plan to start voting NOTA.
Our ballot’s top fare?
A two-fam’ly affair,
Me—I want a two-party keynoter.
