I normally do not care what Robert Redford or other celebrities have to say about economic policy, foreign affairs or pretty much anything else of importance, but something he recently spouted caught my attention. Redford stated: "Do you think the earth was created by an accountant? No! The earth was created by the combustion of a creative explosion. Fire and chaos are what started everything. Then order came on top of that."

In these turbulent times of high unemployment rates, Conficker, bailouts, and more...a compliment emerged from Robert Redford's postulation. The marrying of the words "accountants" and "order" is a remarkable, unintended compliment. We'll take it, Sundance Kid!
