When in Texas, Enron is not a running play for the Longhorns...

"Logic is the art of going wrong with confidence." ~ Morris Kline
Today, Skilling and Lay were convicted of numerous counts of fraud and other misgivings to the stockholders and taxpayers of the Great State of Texas. Hey, Mama said, "When you play with crooked boards, you get crooked houses." I just wonder how long it will take the GS of Tejas(whoops, that's the original Spainish spelling) to tie these crooks to the Shrub in charge of the mess we now have in DC.
Didn't Deadeye Dick serve in some capacity on "Enron's Board" at some time? Or did he just get lucrative contracts from the Enronites.
Hey, not only are the "Eyes of Texas are upon You", so are the rest of America's.
Ironic isn't it that the Enron scandal started before Martha Stewart got her "insider info" about just buying stock at a good price, she has gone to trial, been convicted, served her time and now is back baking cookies and decorating her house in CT. But these guys bilked millions of American citizens in the Western States by artificially inflating the prices in the power grid and shutting down several power plants to inflate that price. Oh, but that is just "business". Business unless you are the one getting diddled.
"Man's obsession to add to his wealth and honor is the chief source of his misery." ~ Moses Maimonides (born Moses ben Maimon)
"The healthy man does not torture others - generally it is the tortured who turn into torturers." ~ Carl Jung
On a side note, does the new English Only Law forbid singing Irish Pub songs in Irish or German Beer Drinking Song in Deutsch? Can I still go to Olive Garden or Pete and Sam's, you know they play that Italian (eye-talian, for Bill O'reilly) music? I really like the Fettucinne Alfredo. And does this new law outlaw ethnic festivals in the inner cities of our great country? I really like them too!
Did they really think about it??
