A few days ago Wally Phillips asked his WGN Radio listeners for names they thought might be interesting and appropriate for the Ferris wheel at Navy Pier.

My suggestion: A tribute to Chicago politics! Let’s call it The Wheeler Dealer. It’s perfect. Consider: The public pays, they get taken for a ride, they go around in circles and finally they’re told where to get off.

Yes, every city should have a big Wheeler Dealer.
