    The price corrected in under 4 minutes... and for every high-frequency-trading algorithm that got robbed of that 1%, there was another algorithm that struck it rich.

    If you're average holding period of a stock is 3 minutes, then this caused damage. Otherwise you wouldn't notice. #cnbc

    "(see: The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, who still won't let themselves call what they make anything but 'comedy')"

    What else should they be calling themselves?

    @MissNormaDesmond: Nothing. That's the point. Beck, O'Rielly and the rest of the channel are no more news than Colbert and Stewart but they pretend as though they are. #foxnews

    So:

    Obama was the President of the Harvard Law Review and taught Con Law at The University of Chicago Law School.

    Cass Sunstein is the most widely cited legal academic alive, and edits the premier Con Law casebook.

    Elena Kagan was the Dean of Harvard Law School where she taught Con Law.

    But Gregg only breaks out the constitutional scholar label for two lawyers who wrote an Op-Ed piece in the WaPo.

    Seems fair and balanced.

    I like the trickle-down effect that the Administration's vocal disdain for Faux News is having. It should be integrated into the Democratic party platform and practiced by pols at every level of government. Nothing less will make a dent in the Church of Murdoch's institutionalized mischief-making. #foxnews

    @unclevanya: p.s. This is a network that gives the Republican presidential frontrunner an hour a week to say whatever he wants. They even pay him. And of course, they will graciously release him from his contract about a week before the Iowa caucus. What the fuck.

    My favorite part is when Congressman Andrews says, "Okay! Don't put up with it. Good for you. Don't put up with it."

    It's like the response a frustrated adult gives to a snotty kid who things he's being so tough. #foxnews

    If it's such a tough question, why doesn't he take a couple of hours to discuss it in detail and maybe even break out some court opinions? Oh, right, because he's a hack. #foxnews

    Just laughing in their faces at this smarmy, infantile bullshit is exactly what gets these nuts all riled up. Well played Congressman Andrews.

    Oh yeah, and Marsha Blackburn is a raving cunt. #foxnews

    That was the journalistic equivalent of talk to the hand. Glad to know Fox can counter "cheap shots" with such inspiring gravitas. #foxnews
