I was loading up in the car to go stock up on food when Rush started freaking out.

Deliberate manipulation or an attack on the market perhaps?

On one of the stock market boards I used to hang out on the question was asked once about why the stock market droped so much on a given day. (about 300 points IIRC). There were many complicated answers about leading tends and presure from the bonds and on and on. But the nest answer is one I will never forget:

The reason the Stock Market went down today is because its called the "Stock Market" instead of the "Stock Always-Goes-Up Market"...

Maybe someone hacked the stock market’s computers, cyber terrorism?

Heh, actually, the Rabbit will get the prize - he who reacts faster will come out ahead. The poor Turtle would be me - losing in the market again...

The last people who would understand the market are Communists like the ones who run the Atlantic.

Regardless of the “glitch” is not the market down 6% for the week? With Obama spending money like a drunken sailor things are not looking good for the long term.
