Ford Falls Hard in Reliability Study

Money manager Whitney Tilson was famously the lone man willing to say the Netflix emperor had no clothes. Now, he sees the emperor in all his finery. Full Story

Fox News’s Megyn Kelly scored an exclusive interview with the star of Herman Cain‘s hot new viral web ad, Mark Block, who is featured in the clip defiantly blowing cigarette smoke at the camera. Kelly introduced Cain’s chief of staff by noting that people have been “dizzified” by the political ad. “The message behind the ad was to our supporters that we’re on a roll,” Block explained. “We’re excited about what’s happening. There was no subliminal message. In fact, I personally would encourage people not to smoke. It’s just that I’m a smoker and as a lot of people on the staff said, ‘Just let Block be Block.’ That’s what it was all about.”

Kelly asked if the quirky web ad was trying to reach out to regular joes. “Were you trying to appeal to folks who are out there living real lives, working the farm, working in Detroit, that kind of thing as opposed to the East and West coast elite, people in media circles, who shun smoking, and, you know, sort of real American things?”

“I tell you, you walk into a veteran’s bar in Iowa, and they are sitting around smoking, and, you know, yeah, we are resonating with them,” Block exclaimed. “I’m not the only one that smokes in America, for God’s sake! It’s a choice that I made and it was at the end of the ad, but the real message that we were trying to get through is that the Cain train is on a roll!”

CEO stepping down.

Update: First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ: FSLR) today asked its Chairman and company founder, Mike Ahearn, to serve as interim Chief Executive Officer. Ahearn has accepted. Effective immediately, Rob Gillette is no longer serving as Chief Executive Officer, and the Board of Directors thanks him for his service to the company.

Being part of that 1 percent sounds good to them!

A Long Island couple dreaming of cashing in on the Occupy Wall Street protests has filed for trademark rights to the movement’s name so they can peddle bumper stickers, T-shirts, beach bags and other gear bearing the OWS logo.

Robert and Diane Maresca paid $975 for the application filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office on Oct. 18.

Robert said he might even share some of the profits he could make with the protesters — if he can figure out who to give the money to.

Gunshots were heard as prisoners set fire to a jail and fought with guards in Turkey’s quake-hit city of Van on Tuesday, two days after a jailbreak when 200 were reported to have escaped in the chaos after a major earthquake.

A soldier said prisoners had attacked guards with scissors and knives. A municipal official, who declined to be named, said inmates had set fire to the jail.

Reuters journalists saw flames lap the building, while white smoke billowed into the night sky, before half a dozen shots were heard.
