Well, it saddens me that a big auditing firm would lower their standards. But what else is to be expected after the Clinton era, especially in regards to SEC?

"Why did Enron lie about their earnings?" Hey flapper, another spot here regarding the company (soon to be) formerly run by Ken Lay, one of shrubbie's good friends and big time contributors. More "proof" of the righteous superiority of the oh so moral, honest, and integrity-laden repoobs, I suppose. LOL. Hypocrisy is pathetic when it's so transparent. prudentbear.com Why did Enron lie about their earnings? After all, who cares about earnings? Poor earnings don't seem to have any detremental effect, just look at the p/e's on all the major indices. The really interesting thing is that the Enron scam is almost certainly not unique to that company. When the only thing that matters to management is holding up the stock price, integrity is an afterthought.

<<Heck, even Bill "Outrage" O'Reilly tonight seemed to be siding with the Democrats on airport security! Said we ought to let the government run the program for two years and then assess whether or not that's the right approach! >> Flappy... Bill O'Reilly is basically a very naive man. He has his answers for all the world ills, none of them practical . If he believes he could get the government out after two years of failures he is nuts..I used to watch/listen this guy but he has become so full of himself I gave up. Ken
