But it's free, and it's right, and it's even empirically smart, whatever their pride and their lawyers may tell them. Most people file lawsuits out of anger, not greed. In states that passed "apology laws" that let doctors express regret when things go badly without having it thrown back at them in court, some hospitals have seen malpractice suits drop by half.

You might enjoy re-watching the hanging, drawing, and quartering of former Crimson President Jim Cramer '77 by John Stewart. While we're pleased Stewart has found a new target after his best buddy rode off into the sunset, FlyBy still holds a soft spot for Cramer from its days watching Mad Money as a budding i-banker (pre-crisis, of course) and this infamous clip...
