Thank you, President Rosneftoil, for signing up for The Daily Me. Our search engine has combed the Internet for up to the minute news items that fit the profile you have so painstakingly filled out for us. Then, we weighted the probability that you would be interested in these articles against forms which showed what people with tastes similar to yours have liked reading in the past. Then, management told us we have to come up with some New Year's resolutions. Naturally, we balked at this, given the general level of perfection in the office. So, instead, we decided to give our readers resolutions. Faye in shipping has noticed that the jumpsuit you have taken to wearing is looking a little snug at your waist – she hereby resolves that you need to either switch to stripes or lose 20 pounds. Hartingen in accounting has resolved that you cut back on the virgin Bloody Marys – your children are beginning to wonder why you keep knocking the clock in the living room off the wall. And, of course, I resolve that you stop enjoying licking the paste off stamps you don't intend to use as postage.
Best of luck with that in the new year!
Enjoy,It's The Start Of A Global Moooooovement

"It's a natural part of life, and, frankly, anybody who would see such images in a sexual way should grow up!" said spokeswoman Elsie, quickly adding: "I mean, mooooooooo!"

Giving The Phrase "Men Of Good Cheer" A Whole New Meaning
"We want to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all cheerleaders in the United States," says Fellowship of Christian Athletes National Director Marilou Braswell. "Cheerleaders are leaders in our schools, and when they are on fire for Jesus, it can change an entire campus."
Absolutely! Think of the catchy cheers:
Two! Four! Six! Eight!Of course, Christian cheerleaders probably won't wear those skimpy uniforms – they'll have to wear full body suits – hmmm...maybe we need to give this concept more thought...

I Tip My Shoes To The Man
How much beating should a person who has embarrassed a foreign leader be given? Oddly, the Koran is silent on this subject. However, this has not stopped Iraqi leaders from offering their own opinions.
"Twenty lashings with a stick no bigger around than your pinky."
"Forty lashings with a stick no bigger in circumference than your thumb. It would have been 80 lashings, but I'm taking into account the fact that the man was a journalist, which, in some places in the world, is considered an honourable profession. Or, so I'm told."
"Eighty lashings with a police baton and whatever else may come to hand: bricks, desks, officers' boots. I would have recommended 160 lashings, but the world is watching, and we want everybody to know that Iraqis are not barbarians!"

Change You Can Make Book On
President-elect Barack Obama has told Russia's Prime Minister/President/Whatever office he officially holds this week Vladimir Putin to "bring it on." However, this is no Bushian challenge to those who would use violence against America: Obama was talking about a basketball game between leaders of the two major world powers.
Russian officials are said to be "amused" by this form of "bball diplomacy." However, one official, who spoke on the promise of anonymity because he wasn't sure what his title was this week, commented, "This is hardly fair! Everybody knows that the President-elect has been stacking his cabinet with ringers! I mean, Hilda Solis at Labour? Really? The only reason she got the appointment was because she was tough on defense and has a great three point shot!"
