I’m still writing for Rant
Lifestyle, even though some of the other articles on the site embarrass a
man with my sensibilities. I am sure,
however, that many of my Rant colleagues, most of whom are less than half my
age, are at least as embarrassed by the old codger who rants about things like
oil, Iran, and the Illinois governor’s race.
My ruminations this week included:
Memo To McDonald’s Execs:
Cater To The Customers, Not The Busybodies
McDonald’s will never be White
Castle
EXPORT CRUDE OIL : SO SIMPLE (MAYBE) EVEN A CONGRESSMAN CAN
UNDERSTAND IT
Explaining economics to a politician is like explaining
bobsledding to a resident of Fiji .
The Syrian Peace Negotiations: Let’s Keep Out The Guys Who Pull The Strings
And Pretend We Are Accomplishing Something
Another Potemkin round of “peace” negotiations limited to
like-minded participants.
2014 Illinois
Gubernatorial Election Year Rag: “Hand
Me Down My Bulletproof Vest…”
A very good, though, of course, not unbiased, summary of the
governor’s race. Anyone know the
reference in the title? As my students
would say, this is another of Mr. Quinn’s OGCRs
(“Old Geezer Cultural References”).
14 Foot Sinkhole In Detroit : The Symbolism Is Obvious And Painful
The once proud and mighty Motor
City
Calling The Financial Markets: “Another Day Useless In A Year Spent”
A true expert knows his or her limitations in the pointless
endeavor of calling markets; thus, by definition, most of the experts in the
financial media are mere poseurs.
Thanks and have a great weekend. Rest assured that, because I bought a new
snow blower last week, we will have no appreciable snow in Chicago
for the rest of the season. You’re
welcome.
