Insightful Pontificator

The cynical yet always insightful and often hilarious political/financial commentaries that once characterized the Insightful Pontificator can now be found at Mighty Quinn on Politics and Money. The Pontificator remains the reflective, often humorous, and always thought provoking repository of my musings on a multitude of other topics. Faith will be a major topic; believe (it) or not, faith provides plenty of grist for the piquant commentary Pontificator readers have come to expect.

About Me

Mighty Quinn
Democrat? Republican? As a guy with no patience for liars, fools, or hypocrites, Mighty Quinn has a healthy disdain for pols of both parties. A professional investor and lifelong observer of politics, Mark Quinn examines global politics primarily, but not exclusively, from a financial perspective. Mr. Quinn also writes extensively on the politics of Chicago, where he grew up surrounded by pros at the art and science of fleecing the taxpayers and enriching their pals. National pols can only gawk as they aspire to such heights of political chicanery. In addition to Mighty Quinn on Politics and Money, Quinn also writes The Insightful Pontificator. Formerly the repository his political and financial posts, the Pontificator now features Mr. Quinn’s ruminations on faith and religion. Some have suggested it is written to atone for the often ferocious rants one finds on the Mighty Quinn site. Mr. Quinn was a featured writer on the Rant Political and Rant Finance sites. He has also written two novels on Chicago politics, The Chairman and The Chairman’s Challenge. Both do for Chicago politics what The Godfather did for the New York Mob.
