Crotchety, maybe, but we aren’t the grouchy sort
MayorSlay.com was nice enough to nominate this blogger/columnist for its local version of the Nobel prize in economics, but the honor came with sort of a backhanded compliment. Here’s how the nomination is phrased:
David Nicklaus, for his grouchy financial columns in the Post-Dispatch.
Funny, we’ve never thought of ourselves as the grouchy sort. Maybe we get a bit crotchety when writing about inefficient housing subsidies or a tire tariff that will hurt consumers without saving any jobs. But, really, we’re optimistic most of the time, as when we came down on the side of a V-shaped recovery, or when we looked on the bright side of the Lehman Brothers failure.
Really, though, Mr. Mayor, thanks for the compliment. As for everybody else, be sure to vote early and often in the MayorSlay.com poll.

David,
My philosophy is that, unless someone remembers your name because you’re on the post office wall, it’s a good thing. Congratulations on the recognition, even if it could have been more encouraging.
