   Joseph Nebus to All   
   13 June 2007 - Jim Cramer, Patty Griffin   
   14 Jun 07 01:40:07   
   
   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   Jim Cramer:   
   	- Cramer is high-strung.  How does he calm down?  Chemistry; he   
   takes out prescriptions and there's powder on his desk.  He has a   
   trainer; mostly he channels his rage into his show.   
   	   
   	- He used to garden, but it became competitive.  New Jersey   
   Beefsteak tomatoes, you see, and you have to be in the game, it's about   
   *winning*.   
   	   
   	- Has he talked to anybody about what's wrong with him?  Teams   
   of professionals, stadiums of professionals; they agree, it makes a   
   decent show, nothing's going to change.  A hyperthyroid condition?   
   That's what the other pills are for.   
   	   
   	- He has no self-esteem; critics can't rival his own   
   self-loathing.  No one is more deserving of a TV show than he is, and   
   nobody is less deserving.  With no stock quotes he'd be nothing.   
   Sister-mother-sister-mother.  He may need more pills.  He can't believe   
   people want his picture.   
   	   
   	- He dresses up a lot, as Mao for a China show; in a diaper for   
   suggesting Kimberly-Clark.  You see a guy wearing a diaper you're going   
   to listen to what he has to say, and not switch to Lou Dobbs.  Conan   
   differs from that opinion; he'd stop and look, there's a 64-year-old man   
   in a diaper, but he wouldn't listen to his stock advice.   
   	   
   	- He gets onto something about immigrants, and he favors Olive   
   Garden, something about swimming pools and he rants about swimming in a   
   giant salad swimming pool, which is why he wants to buy Olive Garden,   
   and the oil wrecked his soup which is fine because it (?) was a   
   knock-off.   
   	   
   	- Think you get rich with stocks?  It's about saving!  Conan   
   wants a transcript of this interview.  Who else do you get stock advice   
   from but someone who's crazy?  There's all different names on the   
   prescriptions.   
   	   
   	- The most upset Conan gets is when he's in traffic.  What is   
   Cramer's road rage like?  He leaves the show, he's in a diaper, his   
   pills are empty, Lou Dobbs is on the radio, and everybody cuts him off!   
   He honks and honks and honks, rolls down the window, says all sorts of   
   things from the locker room and ... Tim Carlson, what are you talking   
   about?  ``I'm not in your brain, Jim.  You know Billy McGee, right?''   
   He's in our country?  You never know who has a gun in your glove   
   compartment!  So he says, I'm the guy!   
   	   
   	- Conan points out the Second Amendment was written when people   
   didn't know about traffic jams, and guns were muskets that took 40   
   minutes to load and were 15 feet long.   
   	   
   	- Cramer's hero is Steven Seagal; here's a picture of him in a   
   Mao jacket carrying a fish.  Hard To Kill is *the* best movie ever made,   
   which Conan believes because he raised his voice, and it's about the   
   media.  He describes the movie plot.  Seagal's character says the   
   villains put him in a coma because he had a superior frame of mind.  He   
   kills everyone.  Cramer calls that a good attitude.   
      
      
   Patty Griffin:   
   	- From 'Children Running Through': No Bad News, I think.  Not   
   really my style, although closer to it than Monday's musical guest was.
