Business- and media-centric blogs have been afire today over the news of Wall Street Journal editor Marcus Brauchli resigning his post.
A lot of it is the usual speculation regarding ongoing changes at the paper since it was purchased four months ago by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. (A quick recap for the uninitiated: Murdoch owns a ton of media outlets, many of which have been accused of parroting his right-wing politics - basically, liberals think he's the Devil, and conservatives think he's got more than enough metric assloads of money to qualify as awesome.) None of it, however, delves deeply enough into the news to answer what I consider to be the most relevant and important question it begs:
How come no one has opened a really upscale vegetarian restaurant called Brauchli?
