    (Whee! I'm channeling Fr. Scott)

    Dow plunges 650 points as U.K. 'earthquake' crushes global markets
    by Jethro Mullen, Ivana Kottasova and Patrick Gillespie

    Quote
    Investors are going into a weekend potholed with uncertainty, making them scramble to get their ducks in order before markets close.


    Nice mixed metaphor there, Jethro...

    Are they getting their ducks in a row, or their house in order?

    If this were a Cathinfo post (informal, posted privately, without being paid) I would let it slide. But a professional journalist being this sloppy?

    It's like watching Spock, Data, or Arnold Swarzenegger try to use popular slang.
