Two Swallows Make a Summer: Foreign Investment Dept.

I sent my buddy Joel a link to an Economist piece about how the Italian/Canadian superhero is going to save Chrysler (or maybe not). Joel responded by pointing out that the Wall Street Journal has structurally the same story up today about what the auslanders are doing to Anheuser Busch.

Whether this is a trend, or just slack, uncritical journalism--is left as an exercise for the reader.

There once was a lass from Anheueser
Who thought that no man could supreuser,

Till Old Overholt
Gave her virtue a jolt.

And now she is sadder budweuser.

Afterthought: And I bet Old Overholt is still repeating that story to the boys down at the Elks Lodge...
