I'm beginning to think that this should be a five-day-a-week thing- Sunday night, Monday night, Tuesday-Thursday- so piping hot second-hand news every day of the week when you wake up, but no weekend work for me.

Some of them end up selling as much as 50% of their company for less than $75,000! Nevertheless, there are some lows to which even the Dragons won't sink - and this is one of them. A snake oil salesman comes in offering a cure-all panacea (Cancer! Hepatitis!) and the Dragons react, at first with a sort of mirthful incredulity, but eventually with a growing outrage that just feels so satisfying to watch.",
