bono vs. sting

I was talking to a woman in a van coming back from the airport today. She was just returning from her work abroad in the Peace Corp. where she had been doing development work. In our short 10 min conversation she used the word "plan" 15 times in direct reference to the means of implementation of her humanitarian aid. I wanted to say something but I didn't have the heart. I asked her if she knew who William Easterly was, she said no...
(I paused)
Then said, do you know who Jeffrey Sacks is?
Her eyes lit up and she said yes, of course. Then she went into a discussion about how she loved him. ... lame!

Come on Easterly! You need a celebrity on your side like Sting! Then "Celebrity Death Match" (MTV claymation) could have the ultimate battle-to-the-death between figureheads representing different schools of thought in economic development.

sting- "Roxanne! you don't have to be so socialist! Walk the streets with money... you don't care if it helps 'cause it does not! Roxanne!"
bono- "see the stone set in your eyes... see the thorn twist in your side... I'll waste money on you. With or with out you!!"

Then sting would break the message-in-a-bottle over Bono's head and he wouldn't do anything about it because he thought it was supposed to be a beautiful day... guess he still hasn't found what he was looking for.
