Jim CramerJim CramerDavid Carr, writing in this morning’s New York Times, takes up the subject of Mad Money host Jim Cramer, who has also been profiled in recent weeks by the Philadelphia Inquirer and Dallas Morning News.

Carr writes, “At a time when people will not pick up finance magazines with a set of tongs and too much of business is a dark, indictment-filled narrative, Mr. Cramer is mining a rich vein of the American psyche, a need to know that there are ways to get ahead.
