Lucy, what happened? Some of the major players in the world are facing bankruptcy. Who would have ever of thunk it? Some I've never heard of. What do I know anyway? Some who made the list are:
1) Hertz. Whose motto was once "Let Hertz put you in the driver's seat today." And wasn't it a galloping O.J. who dashed through the airport concourses while hawking Hertz commercials? Avis was always number 2. They must have tried harder after all.
2) Macy's. Here in the south a long time ago the chain was known as Davisons. And they had the best eclairs. That is until I found a woman's fingernail in the middle of the bavarian cream. They never were the same after that.
3) CBS. Now this is a shocker. What's gonna happen to David Letterman, 60 Minutes, AFL Football, and Morley Shafer and the gang? And is this the last we'll hear from Andy Rooney? Provided the previous two are still alive.
4) Goodyear. What's gonna happen to the blimp. Shades of the Hindenberg.
5) Las Vegas Sands. When a casino in Las Vegas goes bankrupt you know something's amiss with the economy. What fate will befall Cher, Donny and Marie, Ozzy Osbourne, and Wayne Newton?
It's worse than I thought it was out there in the vast wasteland.
