Dear Tom Hicks, A Word Please?

A word of unsolicited advice, if I may. I know you're hoping to make a comeback with the success of your investment in Liverpool Soccer Club, and all the best. But it seems to me that, at this point in the game, you may want to convey the good news to your investors and leave the general public, and the Wall Street Journal, out of it. We get that you emerged from the telecom bubble a little more battered than others. We get that your foray into sports team ownership has been a bit hairy. So we understand that when you've done something good, you want to tell the world! You quadrupled your money! Or at least you might, if you get the price you want! Great job! However, when you do it in a way that pisses off a bunch of people, to the point where they're holding demonstrations in front of the stadium whenever you show up, even creating fictional Twitter accounts to diss you, you may wanna keep that to yourself. After all, you're still America's 371st richest citizen, and they are not.
