shipperxSeriously, I want to give a standing ovation to my TV over what John Stewart is saying while roasting CNBC:

[CNBC] has to reconcile, is their audience the Wall Street Traders that are doing this for constant profit on a day-to-day short term basis? These guys at these companies are on a Sherman's March through their companies financed by our 401Ks and all the incentives of their companies were for short term profit and they burned the fucking house down with our money and walked away rich as hell. And you guys knew that was going on."
