Keep muff brooms out of board rooms

By Jeff Skilling

Today is the first day of Movember, a worldwide charity event where men grow mustaches to raise money for prostate cancer. Corporate goodwill like this makes me take a deep breath and say…WHAT KIND OF ESSENTIAL CAPITAL SPENDING ARE YOU FOREGOING FOR THIS CHARITY BULLSHIT???

DealBreaker.com — my favorite website during “sneak onto the guards’ computer and enjoy three minutes of escapism before you are punished with the hose” — notes that many of the top-brass on Wall Street seem to have missed the memo about the holiday.

By contrast, they mention that in Australia, where the event was invented, everyone, even CEOs, don scruffy muff brooms. Hey, media, how can you compare Wall Street to a wacky island that loves “vegemite,” “regulation,” and “consumer protection laws?” You can’t expect their CEOs to relate directly to our Corporate Leaders … their toilets flush backwards!

The divorce had been done under the veil of secrecy, according to Russian media, in February. The marrige will take place in St Petersburg on June 15, at the palace Konstantinovo.
Alina Kabaeva is 25 years old, Russian gymnast who has had major success on the international stage including Olympic gold in Athens.
She is considered one of the most beautiful Russian woman, and in 2007 entered the Russian Parliament as a member of the "United Russia" party.
According to sources, Putin and Kabaeva are more 'than friends' since 2000. Putin (56) has two daughters with Ljudmila, 23 years old Marja and 21 years old Katerina.
True or not, everything will be confirmed very soon, though is likely that Putin will follow in Sarkozy's footsteps.

Hey!

I just checked out The Rasmus new Fan Page on Facebook where you can play the latest tunes from the BLACK ROSES album…
The fifth song "Your Forgiveness" is so much better than the "Livin' In A World Without You" single… don't you agree?

I know everyone has different tastes and all, but seriously,
the fifth song definitely sounds better than the first!

Listen (and become a fan) here:

Cialis: sedate Uses - BUY CIALIS FOR $0.90

Cialis or Tadalafil is a cure that has in current years been approved in allied States. Cialis is cast-off to arrogate handle a fettle called ED or Erectile Dysfunction. Cialis works by increasing blood gush to a man's penis during erotic stimulation. Cialis was initially released to be enchanted again, but now put on the markets a eperfectday suspension. Cialis can not be cast-off by all men. Men who are grasp to acquire inescapable medical provisos or run other medications should etotally consult with their doctor previous starting any new handlement.

It is estimated than one out of eexceptionally two men between 40 and 70 suffer from erectile dysfunction. Erectile Dysfunction is classified as having a dimarkingly term getting or keeping an erection. This fettle is not cautilized by mark and has nothing to with summon or passion. ED is certainly a medical proviso and it can ordered be brought on in some cases by a underlying medical issue. It can be seen at a tainteder price in men that attired in b be committed to medical fettles such as acme blood coercion, diabetes, or acme cholesterol.

Cialis now comes in two contrastive faces of medication: the earliest thirty six hour pattern or the new etotallyday prescription. Both medicines put on the market their own advantages. The eccentric face of Cialis is confirmingn to care for ED for 36 hours straight. You ascetically pick up c espouse the pest when you confirming it leave be needed in the next 36 hours. This face works in as hardly as thirty minutes and allows for soul's hardly ever interruptions.

The newest adaptation of Cialis is a eexceptionallyday formula. This epitome of Cialis forsakes men the know-how to pick up c espouse the pest without having to develop approximately their erotic encounters. Both faces of Cialis do not forsake a man an pressing erection. It requires erotic stimulation to pull off an erection on. This is a totally formidable component with each face. Men don't acquire to perturbation if they run the medication and end up not having sex.

how, while this remedy has sundry express effects, it also comes with a rota of jeopardize components. Men should not run Cialis if they are currently being care fored with cures such as nittolls for angina. Cialis has also been be informedn to genesis headaches or upset stomach in clinic trials. All in all, men should deliberate over with their doctor if Cialis can be a suspension for them. Your doctor can estimate all jeopardizes and arrogate you elect if the benefits of Cialis out weigh the jeopardizes. All you assail c promote to do is pick up the phone and assail c promote the appointment. You could over your sex soul about.

Does Porn Cause Rape?
0 Comments

The short answer is I don’t know. Correlation between rape and porn is slight … and negative, suggesting otherwise. But slight either way.
Can it? Is it important? Does it matter? Is it what’s really going on? In what sense?
Well, think about it. Males’ main motivation to prevent rape is not really to protect women’s freedom. Their main motivation is to prevent women from falling to other males.
So if porn, for example, do not motivate males to rape women but motivate them to make a lot of money and actively pursue girls, will that satisfy anti porn males. No. They will still call it something negative like rape. When Japanese men hire Chinese prostitute in orgy, poorer Chinese simply declare that it’s “rape” even though the prostitute are paid. The Chinese government put the prostitute in jail. We can check here for more info.
Now, in Arab countries, porn causing rape is used as justification to prohibit porn rather than punishing rapists. It’s not hard to understand. People rape for 2 main reasons. They’re not sexually competitive and they’re militant. That kind of demographic is what controls Arab’s politic. In other word, any politician that want to go up must please that demographic.
Okay, is Arab evil?
Well, evil is relative. Relative to what? In no country in the world I see women are completely and sexually free. If they were free, only alpha males get laid and no countries have the majority of the males’ population take it as a man. The closest I know of is in England, where 50% of the guys don’t have girlfriend.

Even then, I bet in British child support laws are designed to be proportional to a man’s financial capability and hence forcing women to “sale” their reproductive service at higher price to richest males. That’s probably not the kind of pricing schemes most women prefer.

Option 1. Listen attentively.

Well, that sucks. They’re losers. Whatever they tell you may not be accurate. They’ll lead you to the wrong direction. Also it shows them that yelling and cursing you is a way to get your attention. That means you can expect more.

Option 2. Ignore

That’s tough too. You see, losers demand more attention from others. While winners don’t care if people don’t care about them, losers do. Others’ attention is their ways to assert their self esteem. Expect more cursing if you ignore them.

Option 3. Escape. Whether it’s your family, your wife, your kids or anyone. The best way to deal with losers is to stay away from them as much as possible. Due to various laws and norms promoted by, well, losers, getting rid a spouse may be an expensive endeavors requiring expensive lawyers. It’s worthed.

Option 4. Fight. While you have nothing to do with losers doesn’t mean they don’t want to have anything to do with you. The world is full with losers turn bigots opposing free fair competition. They promote various punishments against the productive and successful. There are tons of punishments in store for those who successfully make lots of money or successfully attract many mating partners. Losers gene pool survival depend on screwing those more competitive than them. Unless you fight back.
