Role Model

The country is looking for a role model. Our politicians, spiritual leaders and pundits fail us. We don't trust them.
Who do we turn to?
My choice is Matthew Mc Conaghy. He's got dimples, a great smile, a toned body, amazing hair. His later movies are excellent.
But what sets him apart are those Lincoln car commercials. Cool, in control, whispering to himself as he effortlessly guides the car around sharp turns. Overhead shots o him cruising down an open, flat highway to some very cool place. He has never gotten a flat, stalled out or gotten lost.
This man is cooler than Clooney, Pitt and DiCaprio. Is substance really important? Look at all the substance Steven Hawking had and what happened to him?
I used to think we could trust Mario Batali until the harrassment charges hit.
I do feel the people who hold down the giant balloons at the Macy's Parade are worth of respect, rope burn and all.
