The Enron trial needs more attention
Although everyone is caught up in NSA spying and Alito (which I am guilty of as wel) I really think the outcome of the Enron trial will be a testament as to just how corrupt America has become-or if justice will prevail.

Now don't fill me in, I already know that Daddy Bush and Baby Bush are good friends with ole Kenny Boy and Baby Bush wouldn't be able to toddle fast enough to give ole Kenny Boy a Presidential Pardon and Medal of Freedom, but still I hold some hope that we'll see these bastards at a minimum get reduced to losing their wealth and being forced to take the role of Wal-Mart greeters for the rest of their miserable and pathetic lives (I know they won'd do a day in prison)

Anyways, I'm looking forward to watching this trial if they televise it-I really hope they give this thing the coverage they gave the OJ trial which sorry to say, that was nothing but a media circus. A horrible crime was committed, but regardless of the verdict the impact would not change the face of a country. Maybe if other would be crooked companies get a glimpse of what was once one of the most successful and powerful corporations fall flat on their collective asses who knows what sort of precedence that might set.

2. "My very best to you and Laura?" Really! Isn't he a little too familiar,
considering Bush doesn't even know him?

Thanks for the link.

3. They must be so pleased they've been able to stall this so long.
The Houston Chronicle ran a "playful" poll a couple of days ago asking readers their position on stories on the trial, starting with "I can never get enough. I want to know every detail of the trial" to "I've had enough. I want to get on with my life."

With the Chronicle trying to run interference for them, it looks as if we can expect a bit of bias on the news we'll be reading.

Thanks for the links.

5. The Judge for Lay
doesn't seem to be coddling him too much. Picked a jury today. Lay's face was dragging the ground because these are the folks whom he swindled who are on the jury.
