    I'm just wondering meanwhile if Ruth wore the Benz necklace or if Bernie did. #berniemadoff

    I'm pretty sure you can get a team jacket with any name you want on it for a couple hundred bucks. I'm gonna get one that says "DAHMER". #berniemadoff

    Some ass-clown paid $14,500 for a Mets jacket emblazoned with the name Madoff? Good going, pal. You're going to get your ass kicked, for two worthy reasons. #berniemadoff

    My grandma has a mink coat that has been sitting in a closet for decades; I'm pretty sure various moths have eaten holes through it. Anyway, a couple of years ago my mom was helping them get rid of some clutter and came across the coat. My grandpa turned to me and said, "Matt, would you like the coat?"

    "No, thank you, grandpa."

    "Why not? It's a very nice coat, very warm."

    "That's OK, grandpa, thanks."

    "Why don't you want it?!"

    BECAUSE I'M NOT COSMO FREAKIN KRAMER, THAT'S WHY. #auctions

    A++ for the "Bullship NY" Boat Bouy.

    That plus the Giant Screw Sculpture he had in the office reveals a level of brilliance that has to at least be recognized. #auctions

    I've seen a lot of potential for poor investments it my time, but purchasing something which labels you as a Madoff--in blue satin, no less? Might as well toss your wallet in the fire and jump in after it.

    I would, however, like to put five bucks down on that life preserver. Bullship! That's adorable! #auctions

    In reply to Si Newhouse (Almost) Breaks Even
    I absolutely love that sculpture. But I wonder - how often did Si even look at it? Which home did he stash it in? Was he viewing it as the world burned over the last year, coming to it for solace as another person might in times of distress?

    How odd that by virtue of something's value - $20 million, a sum only a true plutocrat could spend on a single piece of art - it became less precious in terms of the daily appreciation it could have received from its owner. #sinewhouse
