McDonald's New Director

I missed this one by a month or so, but McDonald's recently added (IMHO) a celebrity director to its board, Ford CEO James Farley. I've noticed Farley on the business channels for his ease in interviews. His responses aren't canned and rehearsed directly out of Ford's PR department. 

Plus, he's a real "car-guy."

Plus, he's a cousin of the late Saturday Night Live star Chris Farley. You'll see the resemblance.

He's a far more interesting person than most on the BOD.

James D. Farley Jr. elected to McDonald's board

If Jim Farley lives in a van down by the river it's must be a Ford van.
