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:
