HOLLA!Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling were found guilty of five million counts of fraud today. "The Man" suffers a huge blow to the kidney, and virtue shines down upon us. Sentencing is appropriately enough scheduled for 9/11 also known as The Day You Don't Schedule Anything On Day.
I wonder if there's any living judge or potential jury member who'd be willing to overturn the Enron verdict in an appeal. No one wants to be in that position. You would legitimately have to be worried about assassination. And no one worries about assassination anymore.
(what's up with that, where have all the assassins gone? There's certainly plenty of people worthy of assassination...)
Anyenron, this is hotness. I feel like there should be tons of downtown parties with DJs and open bars celebrating Sticking It To The Man Day. We might have to make The Cracka Crackdown a regular feature...
pour a little liquor for guilty of five million counts.
tonight, ... we drink to justice!
Yeah! I saw the documentary on Enron, maybe the jury did also.
ReplyDeleteJudges overturn verdicts on appeal, not juries.
ReplyDeleteWell the jury got them this time. the judge gets them next time.
ReplyDeletelove "cracka crackdown"
Does trolling dive bars for drunk white chicks count as a contribution to crack crackdown? Cuz if so I'm on the frontline, man.
ReplyDeleteoops, i meant cracka, not crack.
ReplyDeleteShould I be offended by this? Does this mean you're going to beat me up next time I'm in town?
ReplyDeleteHappy Craka Crackdown day, make mine a vodka-n-cranberry, splash of OJ and a lime....whooo whoooo
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet! I hope they go to "F in the A" prison and not "Club Fed".
ReplyDeletefuck the white shirted (21st century klan outfit) mother fuckers! slow, painful death for them in prison. they are not human. death to them all for stealing the lives of thousands.
ReplyDeleteI am all about this. Those guys at ENRON give a bad name to capitalism. Greed is good when harnessed with the rule of law, but people who cook the books should be stomped on. I only hope they get the colluding investment bankers, lawyers, accountants and auditors. And not just with phat fines but actual jail time. Then we can all get back to happily making a killing on Wall Street THE RIGHT WAY!
ReplyDeleteNice blog. Refreshing to see someone willing and able to comment - seriously and w/humor - on the roles race plays in our society.
ReplyDeletetoday, the man is sucking the juice out of the jock strap of a hockey goalie who's just played a triple overtime game.
ReplyDeletethis is another example of racism that doesnt have some huge outcry because its against white people. cracker is to whites as nigger is to blacks and is unacceptable. if it were titled knockdown of the nigger and it entailed a story of a black group getting what they deserve the NAACP and Jesse Jackson would be foaming at the mouth. but its not and im sure ill be the one in the wrong because of the use of the word nigger.
