The juicy news today from kabazabagazillionaire-land is that a Chinese investor has made the winning bid -- $2.1 million -- in a charity auction for a lunch date with Warren Buffett, head honcho of Berkshire Hathaway Inc . which owns PacifiCorp which operates certain dams on the Klamath River that cause quite a few salmon to have a major, major headache.

OK, it is for charity. Still, good taste might suggest that Zhao Danyang of Pureheart China Growth Investment Fund order something other than the anadromous entree.
