" there are few things more romantic than premature death: all that potential tragically unrealized, with none of the indignities and disappointments and bad decisions of middle and old age to mar the purity of early achievement."

where's that press release that said Andy showed up at the HoB looking chubby and old, and passed a hat around for spare change and wanted a sandwich? When I first read that a year ago I didn't think it was so funny, but now it makes me giggle.

I just saw the Enron movie. fantastic and sickening. very well done.

I don't understand, though, was Enron responsible then for the CA blackouts? I mean, completely, utterly? I'm going to read up on this.

That was my understanding from the movie. I would say the telephone recordings of the traders corroborates(sp?) this.

Gray Davis got a lot of the blame. That is how we ended up with da guvernator.
