Warren Buffett is either the richest person in the world or the second richest American, depending on which Forbes article you're reading today. Suffice to say: the man's got bank, especially now that he's gobbling up stake in GE.

With an estimated worth around $50.0 billion dollars, you'd think that Buffett would have some good financial tidbits for down on their luck investors in his new book, The Snowball. Unfortunately, most of the biography is just that: the humdrum goings on of an old coot who likes to play card games and yell at his wife:

After a couple of hours he turned his attention to his nightly bridge game on the Internet, to which he devoted about twelve hours a week. While he tapped away, glued to the screen with the background noise of the TV, Astrid mostly left him to his game, except when occasionally he said, ‘Astrid, get me a Coke!’

Whoops, that's not fascinating at all. Although prudent financially to choose Coke over its imitator, Pepsi, all that sugar can't be good for the 78-year old Buffett. Then he gets overstimulated and is quoted calling the economy "a bit like a bathtub" in regards to the bailout.

Raven and a writing desk much, Mr. Buffett? Switch to diet, or better yet, prune juice.
