An Elephant in Pajamas...

AFI came out with their list of the TOP 100 Movie Quotes and if you ever thought people were passionate about the best third baseman of all time, wait 'til you start talking movie quotes.

I don't have the inclination to note that Jerry Maguire gets two mentions before you have a true comedy film mentioned - "Animal Crackers." Some might suggest that is a little serendipitous that our logo draws a little inspiration from something so notable.

Voodoo Enronomics

Feudalism: You have two cows. Your lord takes some of the milk.
Fascism: You have two cows. The government takes both, hires you to take care of them and sells you the milk.

Communism: You have two cows. You must take care of them, but the government takes all the milk.

Capitalism: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income.

Enron Capitalism: You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt-equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred through an intermediary to a Cayman Island company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The Enron annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more.
