Bailouts or Clicking the Ruby Slippers?

The people of Oz never really forgave Auntie Em Productions for filming the documentary. Ever since then, tourism has soared. Yellow Brick Road chachkes are everywhere. Campers book well
in advance to pitch a tent in the poppy fields. Starbucks opened in the Emerald City mall offering munchkin size lattes.

According to his e-mail, Tin Man is on yet another heart healthy diet. Lion's afraid that Oz is turning into a theme park. And Scarecrow, my dear, dear Scarecrow -- sorry to say he's losing his memory.

Me? Well, Ruby Slippers Ltd. isn't in the red -- ha, ha, just a little corporate humor we use around our executive suite. We've actually been inundated with orders. Our market research shows that people are tired of bail outs, TARP and toxic assets. In this tanked economy people are desperate for simple solutions.

Now what's simpler than clicking your heels together, repeating the mantra and hoping for better times. These days, everyone could use a pair of ruby slippers.
