A Financially Sound Crush
Is it weird that I have a crush on the current Governor of the Bank of Canada. Mark Carney?
I mean, look at him:  He's hot, right? In that bookish, slightly-older, intellectual hunk way. Like Pierce Brosnan in Mamma Mia:  "I can't sing for s%$#, but I look pretty hot in linen!" It's like, you could meet at the Met to check out the latest exhibit, then have a conversation about the causes of the fall of the Weimar Republic, and then have really, REALLY hot sex. I mean, I'd much rather do those things with him then any other of the world's major central bankers:  (L-R) Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney, Bank of France Governor Christian Noyer, German Bundesbank President Axel Weber, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, Bank of Italy Governor Mario Draghi, Bank of Japan Governor Masaaki Shirakawa, Bank of England Governor Mervyn King, European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet, IMF Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund Dominique Strauss-Kahn and World Bank President Robert Zoellick (in back). (Stephen Jaffe/International Monetary Fund via Getty Images) No offense to any of them; I'm sure Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is a wonderful conversationalist, and Bank of France Governor Christian Noyer probably knows tons about wine. But frankly, I'm just not that into them. As for Bank of England Governor Mervyn King, putting aside the fact that he looks like Barney Frank, I just would never sleep with someone named "Merv."  "Although I didn't get laid much at uni, I now control Britain's monetary mass. Cheerio!" Now, you may be wondering: what makes me think that Governor Carney would sleep with me? Well, first of all, who cares? It's just a little crush; I'm daydreaming aloud. So relax. That said, check out the way he holds a coffee cup:  I'm just saying. Leave Comment:Posts 1 - 10 of 59
