Achtung Deadbeat!, or "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"
Well the news is full of stories about U-know-who
traveling around the world with Secretary of the Treasury Paul O'Neill and
Jesse Helms and Liza Minelli to make the case for international debt relief.
While there may be compelling reasons for the West to take such action
I think its ironic that Bono Vox is the one making the case. (Albeit in an
awesome website).
Fact is, Bono borrrowed $20 from me in 1987. He promised he would
pay me right back but he never did, despite my hounding him. I don't know
who this guy thinks he is, but before he gets up again on his soapbox, he
ought to look at himself and open his own wallet. Oh well. I guess I can
kiss that money adios, amigo.
If he does read this and calls me though, I have some advice for him to
give to other struggling countries. Primarily, we think its important that
some countries continue to focus on what they are best at doing. Expanding
into new fields is vital, but so is maintaining valuable niches. Portugal is
a good example. They should not rush into high tech a la Ireland. Portugal
proves that it can succeed by staying with and developing their cork
harvesting industries, sardine fishing and olive business. Canada should
keep making hockey. And we would advise Denmark not to stop producing
abundant amounts of porn. In fact, we would beg Denmark not to stop
producing abundant amounts of porn. In fact, if Bono takes anything away
from this webblog, let it be our plea that he should insist that Denmark
should not stop producing abundant amounts of porn.
Which reminds me. It has been brought to our attention that the Nicole
Kidman link last week which we managed to shoehorn into a discussion of
cloning might have a facsimile of her in a state of undress. We apologize.
We promise to take it down. Soon. Just..ya know..sit tight
