Also Forbes, also WSJ. Any magazine I've read claiming to report financial
news has proven to be little more than a self-promoting millionaire's club
popularity journal. If I wanted that, I'd read George or Playboy. (1)
Now after I've flamed Forbes, I'll read another issue. If it warrants, I'll
eat my words.

What was so righteous about Malcom Forbes? To me, he seemed to be something
of a schmoozing high-life millionaire brat. Not something I attain to be,
and certainly not something I would want to be remembered by. What has he
done that benefitted, say, me or my family?

1. Not to disparage these magazines -- I've occasionally read some fine
material from them. At least they're honest about their intentions.
