Lay to Rest
“Kenny Boy” Lay just died. The former CEO of Enron, 64, expired from a heart attack just hours ago. He was to be sentenced on September 11 for multiple counts of fraud. You may read his own personal plea for understanding and sanctimonious claim of innocence, both invoking his god, on his website. Thousands of workers lost their savings, pensions, jobs, and even lives; I only lost $10,000, a lot for me, but a relative pittance in the grand scheme of his evildoing.
Coming a few hours after Independence Day 2006, his death is emblematic of how misdirected our nation’s course has become as power becomes more concentrated in the grubby hands of the unconscionable.
But Death stole the show from Justice. Oh, well. It’s win-win.

Don’t go to his web page. You’ll puke.
I hope he suffered. In fact, I hope his suffering has just started.

Welcome home, Kenny.

Fools. Naifs. That wasn’t Kenny Boy. That was some homeless nobody duped with a bottle of booze into getting killed, disfigured, and passed off as Lay so he could make his escape into freedom and oblivion. Lay gamed the system and boned the world, and nobody’s the wiser. At least not in Francophobe America.

Yo Pierre, that’s just too plausible! I sure wouldn’t put it past any of the Enronobies & least of all KennyBoy. If it’s true I hopy he gets eaten by cannibals [on whatever island in makes home] & shat out as the worst case of diarreah they ever had. That would be good Karma!
