When I wrote last week about the death of former Enron founder Ken Lay and the judge's decision that made his fraud and perjury convictions disappear, I was totally unprepared for what would follow.

Not only is he getting a new identity, he's having plastic surgery to make himself look like Hillary Clinton. Clinton will then be "replaced" and the Clinton look alike Lay will be elected to further conservative ideals.
Yeah, that's the ticket.
Yep. Freerepublic.info leads back to freerepublic.com When new TLD's (top level domain like .com, .info. ,biz) come out, companies and organizations are usually wise to register their name under that TLD to avoid a rival group registering the name and putting up a parody site. Hmmm, is du.info registered?
Still crackpot fodder no matter how many delusional people who have IP accounts repeat it.
Dammit!
What's wrong with you?
No one (outside of Free Republic) was supposed to know about this!
Know we're gonna have to contact Karl Rove and see if he can fix this for us. He already has enough on his plate right now trying to fix the 2006 elections for the GOP.
He won't be happy that he made contact with him!
I hope you're happy now.
Sounds like the "Loose Change" crowd strikes again, these people are pathetic.
Damn, it does.
Learned something new today after all.
Yeah, news organization like Weekly World News.
Speaking of Ken Lay...we saw the documentary, THE SMARTEST GUYS IN THE ROOM yesterday. It was really fascinating. But of course, there was the Bush thing. NO MENTION, AT ALL, that Enron thrived, did ALL of it's misdeeds during the Clinton years. Not a peep about all the time Lay spent at the White House during the Clinton years. The only time a politician was mentioned was, or course, when they said how happy Lay was that his friend GWBush waw in the White House and then the obligatory footage of him meeting with Bush. Of course, it all came toppling down less than a year after his savior, Bush got into office. The movie also makes it look like it was only Democrats who really cared about bringing Enron down. Barbara Boxer and Henry Waxman were the only people shown during the hearings admonishing Skilling. I was very disappointed, but not surprised. But do see this movie if you get a chance. And Lay faking his own death? Why not? He pulled the wool over the eyes of thousands and thousands of very smart people for a very long time.
FWIW. the Star-Gazette was/is the first Gannett paper.
The minute that I heard of Ken Lay's "death" I thought that he had faked it. You offer the officials that need to sign off that you are dead a few million, thy will do it!
I saw a good bit of it and noticed the same Bush bashing. I cracked up when they showed that little dramatization of Skilling's bright idea of "Hypothetical Value Accounting".
I read this somewhere last week:

Funny how there would be no mention of Democrat Mayor Lee P. Brown (mayor of Houston) who served in the Clinton Administration and buddied with Ken Lay to get Houston's new baseball park approved by voter referendum (it passed by 1% margin).
