6667: Burgers, Boogers And Bombing Business.

Wondering aloud with a MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• Mickey D’s is unveiling its Angus Third Pounder sandwich, which will retail for $4. The executive vice president of a Chicago-based restaurant research firm said, “They delayed introducing it because of the economic environment, but they’re recognizing that all of the chains have a high-quality burger.” Is that an admission that Mickey D’s didn’t previously have a high-quality burger?

• Domino’s is introducing new products. And no, the items do not contain boogers. Right?

• General Motors proceeded to dump 1,600 workers on Monday, moving closer to its goal of shedding 3,400 salaried employees. GM North America President Troy Clarke said, “In these unprecedented times, GM is reinventing every aspect of our business, including our organizational size and structure, to create a lean and agile company.” Is that an admission to having been fat and clumsy?
