This, which occurred to me yesterday while pondering my upcoming drive through (among other places) Nebraska, is the only business-related thought I've had in weeks.
We must capture Warren Buffet and force him to appear on CNBC in the back half of a horse suit, with Alan Greenspan as the front.
Ask me if I miss biz journalism. Now guess the answer.

I worked at a bat mitzvah on Saturday, pouring Shirley Temples for an endless stream of attitudinal 7th graders. The traditional games, particularly Coke & Pepsi, have gotten really complicated since I last went to a bar mitzvah in 1994. (No, that's not the year I was 13. Hush). Coke & Pepsi now has all sorts of extra commands like "Shakespeare" (drop to your knees and say "to be or not to be") and "Homer Simpson" (traditional "d'oh!" exclamation and gesture). Sure, Homer Simpson didn't exist when I was 13, but Shakespeare did. My theory is that today's youth need more complicated diversions. In addition, they dress better and are more attractive, or maybe those are just the ones that get invited to rich, popular girls' bat mitzvahs. Still, I could swear that when I was 13, even the Beautiful People had zits.
You also haven't lived until you've seen a bunch of adolescents dancing and singing along to Sean Paul in the presence of adults, to wit, "Let's get it on til the early morn, girl it's all good just turn me on." Omigod.
I feel old.
