Kodiak, Most important items first: Re: Ya think the Ducks can take the Trojans? (I sure do). Well, I don't follow those hyperthyroid cases, but I know you to be a shrewd observer. So I'm agreeing with you. Whew, now let's get past this agreeing nonsense..... #1: Just because Brandeis said something, that doesn't mean that it is always true. Correct, but it was a good line. Oops, there I go sort of agreeing again. Dang. #2: . <<Cheney looks dirty. The angle on this is the quid pro quo thing. Assumption and conclusion. Cheney looks clean, ENE never got any quid pro quo, that's why they're in bankrupcty. How dare you call my bluff on this obvious stretch! Actually, there is a long, long list of things that Enron got that it wanted from the government, and I didn't mean to just pick on poor Mr. Cheney, I know he's on a metronome these days and I wouldn't want to upset his rhythm. Enron has been getting its way with the government for a long, long time. Go back to 1993, and the ruling that Wendy Gramm handed down at the CFTC to exempt energy speculation from the sunshine of regulatory oversight. Richly rewarded with a place on the End Run BoD, and a cat bird's seat on the Audit Committee. I bet she's rueing the day she ever thought to be that stupid. The there's Phil in flagrante delicto for Ken Lay's bourka shrouded cause. I could go on. But you get the drift and I've directed you to some threads that cover this matter in great detail. Not that I expect you to be troubled by the facts. #3: The comment about quid pro quo is not my paranoia. It was me relating what was reported on the mornings NPR "Morning Edition". Shooting the messenger is really poor form, Kodiak. Very small minded of you. #4: Again, resorting to personal attacks when your argument is weak is something that I would have thought was below your dignity. Guess I'll have to reconsider. Re: All in all, your weakest effort in some time. Thanks for the left handed compliment. I guess some of the others were OK by you, eh? [[Fun joust, thanks for the round, I think I'll take the match, but I know you're keeping some dry powder. At least I hope so. ]] Re: GLARING EXCEPTION - No reply to my "Stalineque" quip. Afraid it's true? I'm disappointed that you are unwilling to face the brutal reality of Nawlins. You better believe the folks over in Storyville get the message loud and clear. All the best, Ray :)
