Well they always said, "You can't take it with you".

I suppose I'm the only person in the world who thinks Lay was guilty of nothing and that the company would have pulled out of its tailspin if the Democrats hadn't thought they could bring Bush down by tying him to Enron.

Did anyone notice that the media dropped Enron as a front page story when all the evidence pointed to a greater Clinton connection?

If this case was legit Franklin Raines and everyone at Fanny Mae would be in prison.

Ken Lay was an honest, Christian man who donated millions and millions to charity. He and the company were destroyed and denigrated for all time by the Left.

best decision of my life was turning down a job with Enron - they wanted me to engineer all sorts of bizarre and incomprehensible leasing transactions that would have served no legitimate purpose. We aren't talking tax shelters here, to this day I can't figure out exactly what they wanted these transactions to accomplish.

The compensation system also made no sense to me. It was to be tied to the transactions, but there was no way these transactions could have generated any money.

The fact no one during the entire hiring process was honest with me combined with the fact I had no desire to move to Houston led me to reject the offer when it came.

This was in 1998.

Hmmm. I'd think that if his lawyers had not yet filed for the appeal, the judgement would stand, even after his death.
