      <![CDATA[Not quite a rant, but not an example of fine writing either.  The piece mainly suffers from too many words, which makes me wonder why Mr. Miner inflicted them on us.  As a sop to his brother?  I don't know, but the verbosity is a sharp contrast to his own lapidary style.

      <![CDATA[The Guardian article was not as bad as the Caddy drivel.  It is generally wrong..JP Morgan bailed out the bulk of Chinese banks about 4 years ago, as the Chinese were insolvent, and if the Fannie/Freddie burnout was a single sharp event the WSJ has wasted a lot of ink over the last 8 years warning us about the problems....but it is not written in the hysterical style of a bitter caddy to the rich and famous.
    
    Snyder has got himself into a fix by a career choice, and he asks for pity, while he sneers at everyone who has not made his choices.  The world needs ditchdiggers too, Snyder, buck it up, and pick up a shovel.

      <![CDATA[I have read none of Snyder's books, including "The Cliff Walk," an Amazon review of which Anon links to just above. So I won't vouch for its qualities. But I can say that when Anon went searching for a negative reader's review at amazon.com he/she found 71 reviews to choose from. The average rating by those reviews was slightly more than 4 stars out of 5. Another tool any writer is grateful for is selectivity.

      <![CDATA[The new siren call of the left, "America, corrupt to the core, falls"  And, of course, it's all the fault of "Bush and Cheney."   
    
    Judging by the review of his book, this essay seems to be one in a series.

    Given that fact, I have to question whether the "High and Mighty ruler of the London Stock Exchange" may be a novelist's tool.

      <![CDATA[What a hapless essay.
    
    "What does it all mean now, in real terms?" Perhaps it is a message from God that you should not take up caddying full time rather than working a real job.
