People working in the creative world are on duty 24/7. They live under a cloud of stuff, information about anything and everything, and they continually poke the cloud with a stick, looking for things that will connect somehow.
One such person was recently poking the cloud about Mitt Romney's tax plan. Taxes, taxes. Small cut for the middle class, large cut for the upper class. Take from the poor, give to the rich. Eureka! Robin Hood in reverse!
From there, it was an easy leap to "Romney Hood," which President Obama shared with the world in a speech earlier this week. It would be cool to think that Obama thought of it himself. Most likely it came from a person sitting in a cubicle, or lying in a bed, poking a cloud with a stick. There's nothing mysterious about how that works. I could teach it to you, but I'm not going to today because I want to do something else.
Robin Hood's turf was Sherwood Forest. Romney Hood's turf is Trouser Woods, land of "the rest of us." Here dwell the middle to lower classes, who have been forgotten by the country's political and financial systems. Our platform: "Anything to give the middle class a leg up."
Thus we are quite excited by Romney Hood's arrival in Trouser Woods. His activities are sure to bring the Woods more ink in the media, which is always a good thing when you're looking for a leg up. Even as we speak, media people are furiously poking the cloud with sticks, looking for something that can be made of "merry men" and "Friar Tuck."
