CNBC-bound

If you’ll be watching CNBC at 4:12 Eastern today, you’ll see me getting interviewed about Kirk Kerkorian. The MGM Mirage’s biggest owner is in the news because he is buying a big chunk of GM stock.

You can see me talk confidently about Kerkorian’s role in Las Vegas and gaming history, then attempt to adroitly deflect a question about his personal life…I know that he plays tennis, but we really don’t move in the same circles.

And no, I didn’t say that the GM stock buy was a part of a gambit to buy GM just to fold it into MGM, though they changeover would be pretty low-cost: they’d just have to add an extra M.
