    I had real hopes for Youtube courses allowing everyone to essentially attend high-level universities for free. In 2010-2012. Then ITunesU faltered, and companies looking to make a profit along with abbreviated videos like Ted talks watered those hopes down.

    I still enjoy Yale Courses on YouTube, though.

    While we're taking out the trash, can we set a tribunal for the entire W administration, too?

    There's still a huge amount of free content online from great schools. Check services like Coursera.

    Or you can just Google 'Yale free online' or 'Harvard free online' etc., and browse.

    I can't see the NYSE not have approving the IMC deal, even though there may have been concerns about further consolidation in market making on the floor. But I strongly suspect it was a rubber stamp with or without a donation. $2 million to Ken Griffin is the equivalent of $20 to most people. This smells more like him either contributing because him and Jeff Sprecher are thick as thieves, or maybe it is the kind of money he spreads around constantly for future considerations.

    One peeve. If you are going to tweet like you found a smoking gun, at least have a clue about the details you are writing about. Sprecher doesn't "own" the NYSE. He's the chairman of (and he founded) the ICE, which owns the NYSE. The ICE is a publicly traded company. Any of us can be the "owner" of NYSE.

    EDIT: It would be surprising if Ken Griffin wasn't making contributions to Kelly Loefler. He has become very wealthy nicking pennies off of financial transactions. The biggest threat to what he does is regulation, including the kinds of financial transaction taxes that Joe Biden and other democrats have talked about. Of course he doesn't want their party to take the Senate.

    Frankly, the Republican Party as a whole should never have been forgiven for the Iraq War.

    The fact that Dems still don't bring that up to them whenever the GOP whines about anything is terrible.

    Kelly Loeffler reminds me of Brick's girlfriend in "The Middle."

    She reminds me of every long haired woman/girl who thought and acted like they were a 10 when they were only a 5.

    She reminds me of the high-school bowheads, many of whom later married vaguely criminal much older men
