Cruisin’
So today I was talking to a friend (also a reader of this blog, believe it or not) and we were laughing about the fact that I referenced Tom Cruise in my last post…
And then I had to break the news to him: Tom Cruise is possibly the most important man on earth.
Believe it or not, everyone’s favorite (or least favorite) Tomcat is actually highly correlated to a majority of current events…and this makes him a fascinating charcater. The economy, politics, pop-culture - you name it, he’s behind it all somehow. I know, I know…it seems crazy; but I’d certainly like to think that Tom understands the science behind it all.
Doesn’t it seem like War of the Worlds lately? Conflict is all around us: Wall Street vs. Main Street, Reps vs. Dems, The Jonas Brothers vs. premarital intercourse…I figured that things would at least calm down for a bit following the election, but no luck. Sorry Mavericks, but there’s a new Top Gun in office…and I guess you could say America gets an A+ on the Minority Report. Pretty cool. Anway, enough politics…show me the money! Or not. At this point it seems like Mission Impossible just to pull the economy out of the dumpster.
Dear Wall Street, hire A Few Good Men and Women to get us out of this mess...The Firm could use ‘em. The numbers sure don’t lie (Dow sub 7,000). Where’s Rain Man when you need him? With all the Risky Business going on, it’s a good feeling just to know that you were one of The Outsiders and haven’t been “Madoffed.” Unfortunately, Bernie loved The Color of Money too much, and realized we all had our Eyes Wide Shut…by the way, has his $7,000,000 penthouse been seized as Collateral yet?
Catch my drift? Can’t escape this Cruise. So, why not take a moment this weekend to raise your glass and toast to Tom…oh yeah, and enjoy that Cocktail.
