Surprisingly, we discovered he’s not a fan of the word “fusion,” and that to him, the world’s perfect food is the ice cream sundae.

At last, somewhere, sanity prevails. Chicago Mayor Richard Daley has signed a proposal to repeal the foie gras ban in his city, and for this I give him a standing ovation. Daley sees the ridiculousness of the ban in the first place, calling it “the funniest law they [the Chicago legislature] ever passed,” and understands that not only does government have more important things to attend to, but it also must hold sacred our right to freedom of choice. For those who continue to spout that foie gras banning doesn’t really matter because it’s merely a treat for the rich,…

If any of you subscribe to BusinessWeek, I’m in the September 18th issue in the Fall 2006 Small Biz section.

From the article (following a section about the courses to choose for your MBA program): And what if, after plenty of research, nothing seems to fit?
