Jim Cramer's Dad Allowed to Vote, Democracy Saved

Yesterday, CNBC's official Dick Vitale impersonator Jim Cramer tweeted that his  father, a World War II veteran, would lose the ability to vote under Pennsylvania's recently-upheld voter ID law because he "does not drive, he is elderly, and can't prove his citizenship."

Not to worry. If you're the dad of a cable television show host with 500,000 Twitter followers and having trouble meeting new ID requirements, the state of Pennsylvania is ON IT...

Less than seven hours later, the "Mad Money" host tweeted that authorities with Pennsylvania's transportation office "came directly to the rescue" of his father…Jan McKnight of the Pennsylvania Department of Transporation told TPM that a fellow staffer alerted her to Cramer's tweet with an email. McKnight was then able to contact Cramer's publicist. The publicist gave Cramer's family a phone number for McKnight.

So remember, if you're one of the 750,000 Pennsylvanians who lack adequate state-issued ID, all you need is a close relative who makes a living playing zany sound effects on television and you're golden.

Jon Stewart on Goldman Sachs's Fraud Charges

You know, it's one thing for Goldman Sachs to have the balls to defraud investors and still hand out billions in bonuses, but it's almost like a bad joke that along with those balls their name is basically Gold Man-Sacks. Though, we can take some solace in the fact that they got rid of their original name, Iron-Scrot Asteroidnuts and Sons.

Anywho, here's what Jon Stewart had to say about the debacle on last night's Daily Show:

Barack Obama "Was Eager to See" Jon Stewart and Jim Cramer Engage in Friendly, Non-Controversial Chit Chat

It's pretty cool to learn that Barack Obama is a fan of Entourage and SpongeBob SquarePants, but what I found more interesting was this nugget of info from Politico…

Jon Stewart's smackdown of CNBC's Jim Cramer? Obama was eager to see it. But when it comes to the real news, and not the fake kind, Obama takes a pass — rarely ever tuning into 24-hour cable chatter or replays of his own performances.

But what I found really cool was this…

But some of Obama's choices definitely have an edgier bent — such as the HBO drama "The Wire." His favorite character is Omar, a gay stickup artist who steals from drug pushers to give to the poor. ("That's not an endorsement. He's not my favorite person, but he's a fascinating character," Obama said last year.)

That's excellent news. Omar is unquestionably the best character on the Wire. Okay, I guess I also could have accepted McNulty or Stringer.

But, if he said Cheese… I'm sorry, but that just might have been grounds for impeachment.
