An emboldened Ken Lay. These are heady times for the captains of American corruption. Even Ken Lay is no longer content to sit in the shadows (Shelby Hodge in the Houston Chronicle):

No longer taking a discreet table in the corner of La Griglia, former Enron CEO Ken Lay stepped into the power-lunch spotlight Friday [Dec. 12] when he invited former Mayor Bob Lanier and Elyse Lanier to join him there for a leisurely bite at a central table. No one missed the giant step forward.

Now that the political climate is warmer, punch line Ken Lay is undoubtedly preparing for his next foray into organized pickpocketing via market manipulation, energy policy manipulation, election manipulation, accounting manipulation, regulatory manipulation, and just plain ol' lying.

While we're on the subject of Enron, consider the subject of profitably driving people to suicide. Isn't it odd that you can still find current stories on Vince Foster, who died in 1993, but none on Enron's J. Clifford Baxter, who died in 2002?
