The New York Times morning headline email has this as the quote of the day:

QUOTE OF THE DAY
“Rather than be a burden to you or the agency, I feel it is in everyone’s
best interest if I step aside now.”
HARVEY L. PITT,resigning as chairman of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

No offense to Pitt, the SEC, or the economy, but there was another story that, I think, trumps it.
