I am not afraid to admit that I have no idea what the World Bank does. It sounds to me like a place I should consider banking at since they probably have ATMs everywhere. Whatever it is they do - come on all you smarty pants, if you know, post a comment below so I can learn something - the World Bank is considering Bono to become the new president. Yes that's right, the U2 guy, a major activist in debt relief and AIDS is reportedly on the short list to lead the Bank.
This is a fabulous idea. If Bono's in charge, he'll have to live in DC, and that will make all my friends down there really happy. (My alma mater is a block away from World Bank headquarters, how many times a day will I get "Holy Crap I just ran into Bono at the Starbucks!") Wait. Would Bono drink Starbucks? Or would he favor a small neighborhood cafe where he could buy organic blends? Hmm, someone check into this please. (See, really, writing a blog is all about delegation.)
Second reason this is a good idea: The Bank will be able to save money on printing costs. With only four letter in his name, it won't take up significant business card or letter head space. This makes good financial and environmental sense!!
Third and best reason to pick Bono as president of the World Bank? He can make complicated world financial issues easy and understandable buy putting them into song form. Take for instance U2's I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For. Just switch the lyrics around and now thousands of screaming teens will understand the political-socio problems inherent in the current world debt system!!
They owe money
They have debt
Their current payment plan makes me upset
Makes me upset
China what will you do?
And France cannot pay the money they owe Spain.
And France cannot pay the money they owe Spain.
See? Rockin'!!
So I say bring on Bono. Then we can get back to finding P.Diddy a job with Red Cross.
