Shameless Plug: My Column on Who Will Buy Busch Entertainment

My column on the Busch theme parks being for sale and who, including Disney, could buy them is now up at LaughingPlace.com .  I really hope you’ll read my review - or at least pretend to.  Since I wrote it, it has become clear that Six Flags likely will not be a player.
