Mr. Bush the Younger was tardy himself in 1990 with some reports -- technical violations -- before he sold his shares in Harken Energy Corp. for $4 apiece. A few months later, the shares were worth $1. There always are those who know when to sell and when to hold, and those who don't. The latter are called willing buyers, and ain't it cause for celebration when the little guy gets into the market and does well?

Well, Okay, Okay, then:

So this is the story:

Circa 1987
George Bush is President of the United States.
Geo. W. Bush, is in the Oil Business.
Neil Bush is on the Board of Silverado Savings and Loan.

Our sceen opens:
[The Kremlin, 4am Moscow time.]

Aide [rushing in] : Mr. Premier, Comrade Kruschev, WAKE UP. This is very important; the future of the world as we know it, is at stake, Bush is on the Red Phone!!!!

Nikita: Well what is it????

Aide: Bush says he understands that the Soviet Union is about to fall because of financial worries, he says they will lend you all the money you want, at no interest AND YOU NEVER HAVE TO PAY IT BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Krushev (wiping the sleep from his eyes, slowly and deliberately picks up the phone)

........Neil!!!!!!!, how's your dad????

:)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

"But the Enron story isn't about scandal. It's
about public policy, and public policy isn't boring
when it affects everybody's retirement income and electric bills. "
