George Carlin said a long time ago that there's no such thing as "bad words". Many of us come here to read Barry's take on things...frequently stated using the vernacular. "Ginormous money losing tool Ben Stein finally got shit canned by the New York Times." That's a topic sentence for the ages. One sentence that makes it clear what the article is about. It should be taught as an example in writing classes. @plwanger

Let him continue to do commercials and other activities to keep himself busy. However, Ritholtz should remember to use standard English. Use of such slang as "shit canned" demeans the language.
