...knowing your audience. When he lunches with President Bush, as he did most recently in October, Bono quotes Scripture and talks about small projects in Africa that have specific metrics for success.

And after years of paying his dues, Dick is promoted to vice president at Globodyne, a huge corporation that consolidates media properties. But within 24 hours of his promotion, the company is destroyed in an Enron-type scandal and Dick, along with thousands of other...
...staff. Mean, like, as in kind. He once clowned the entire staff of FM nto thinking he was too nice and too indie for them. This turned out not to be true, him being really just sort of indie and not that nice. In other words, a total dick. Basically, a con artist. Point is, Leon is literally skinny (!!!). Next year he’ll essentially keep up the good work...
