1. gee, five mos instead of four (the earlier, rejected bargain)....

What a joke. I certainly hope there are some bigger fish fried because of this. White collar justice is served once again.

2. Illegal aliens...illegal wars....illegally selected president...illegal is

becoming the synonymous with being the american way to be in the good old USA INC. Why am I not surprised they took the plea. No big fish will come of this. Lay is a free man. That's who I want to see frogmarched for the enron theft.

3. Just seeing the word "Enron"...

...makes me want to throw up. I look forward to seeing Kenny Lay in Hell---and I'll do whatever is necessary to make sure I get there. I want to spend Eternity torturing him.

4. Tommy Chong got 6 months for what he did to America.

GIMME A FUCKEN BREAK!!!

Lookie here--they're making baby splashes on Enron just in time the election year. They should be pleaing out the really small fish to go after the big fish. Instead they're pleaing out top dogs and their wives--accomplices in the biggest (financial) crime ever perpetrated--and then they'll fail to convict the rest of them anyways. They should take every penny these people have, tell them they're working backwards from a life sentence, and then see who talks.

5. That maybe your heaven

and his hell. If it works for you, it works for me. Lay deserves for he and his family to be destitute for the rest of their lives, or better, they should have to work for the people that got screwed.
