Take an economy - any economy - not the one you fly on but the state of a country. Their buying and selling - their humming and hawing (how exactly does one haw?) - their extravagance and their austerities.
If Economy was a sluggish person it could look up to Lance Armstrong as a role model - how to dope and get ahead - be number one. Who better to teach that than someone who knows the ins and outs so to speak?
Bernanke could then take a back seat and go back to writing obscure papers that his students could read.
If the Fiscal Cliff was a male it could look up to Kim Kardashian as a role model. Take one long look at her and boing - you are at the top of the mount. No more looking down in to the chasm.
The President could then go back to identifying what a real wealthy person looks like so that he can tax the heck out of them.
If Swing Vote was a real person then he could look up to Tiger Woods - you can swing whatever you want in your life on the green and off and still get away with million dollar pay day?
If Gay Marriage was causing a wedge issue, just have him look up to Larry King who always seemed 'unhappy' in marriage.. that should send the wedge off the cliff, swinging its way out of sluggish existence.
I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.
There aren't too many of these around these days..the ones who might have been are refusing to retire from their professions, automatically ceasing to be (good) role models..
