It was obvious to me that something was up when junior wouldn't stop Enron from gouging the western states during the phony energy crisis. I couldn't understand why there wasn't any press about the possibility that the crisis may be staged in order to cheat the public. To me is was the kind of situation that any normal president should have stepped into and used his power to stop. To the media it seemed like they just believed everything that was fed to them by the people who were behind the phony crisis. That there wasn't major investigations started immediately should have been a hint to the American public of what they were in store for from junior's pro big business administration.

I don't know why but the following satire i saw earlier today made me think of Enron. I guess it is because of how hard they went after Stewart and how easy they have been on big time crooks.

Returning home after five months in prison, Martha Stewart was nearly wounded when her car was hit by gunfire at a military checkpoint near her New York home. Stewart, stunned by the incident, said she was saved by her Prada red patent leather handbag. “The bullet was deflected by the sterling silver latch on my bag. I want answers on how the hell this happened” she told reporters awaiting her arrival.

Pentagon officials termed the incident an “accident” and claimed her vehicle had been approaching the checkpoint at high speed. “Warning shots were fired into the air and evidently a few missed their target and struck the vehicle. It certainly was not intentional,” said a military spokesman.

The checkpoint had been setup near Stewart’s home due to warnings of terrorist activity in the area based on information hackers obtained from Bin Laden’s T-Mobile cell phone.
