"There is no mention in the WSJ of Buffett bankrolling "Joe" in taking over the business."


                      That is just about as laughable a comment as I've ever heard. I haven't heard anybody suggest that Warren Buffett was interested in backing Joe to buy a business. And if it doesn't show up in the Wall Street Journal, it is probably more likely to happen than not. Maybe it is happening, but Rupert Murdoch doesn't want anyone to know it.

                     And I did not imply that Joe is either lazy or stupid. I think he is misinformed about the difference between gross and net income.
