Enron Monday... Internet sendup of Sprint PCS ads that blame "bad cellular" for laughable miscommunications, The Enron version: "The Arthur Andersen partner said, 'Ship the Enron documents to the Feds,' but the secretary heard, 'Rip the Enron documents to shreds'."

Documents show Enron hid a disastrous bookkeeping error Lay sold stock while telling employees to buy "Laura and I value our friendship with you." Cheney barreling toward showdown ...it's important that we get some changes, some lessons out of this whole mess/experience. I do think it is possible that Lay was misinformed. I have seen first hand what it can be like. That does not absolve him of any responsibility...that's why he got the big bucks...mj 9:27:22 AM
