What a fucked up world we live in...

[bascule]

Various news sources are reporting on a recent request by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to California to return $270 million that is supposedly owed Enron and other energy companies from profits on the resale of electricity. This comes in the wake of the recent disclosure of tapes of conversations between Enron executives which make clear rampant gouging of California citizens by the energy company. Here are two of the conversations caught on these tapes:

"He just fucks California," says one Enron employee. "He steals money from California to the tune of about a million."

"Will you rephrase that?" asks a second employee.

"OK, he, um, he arbitrages the California market to the tune of a million bucks or two a day," replies the first [...]

"They're fucking taking all the money back from you guys?" complains an Enron employee on the tapes. "All the money you guys stole from those poor grandmothers in California?"

"Yeah, grandma Millie, man"

"Yeah, now she wants her fucking money back for all the power you've charged right up, jammed right up her asshole for fucking $250 a megawatt hour."

Furthermore, California Democrats are now blaming Enron for the rolling blackouts which were largely blamed on California ex-governor Gray Davis and primarily responsible for his unseating in favor of the Governator...

Let's hope the spirit of the law prevails over the letter of the law...

The tapes were certainly quite surprising... I never thought any Enron executive would describe their fradulent activity as "fucking grandma Millie...up her asshole"

going out of business sale / family learns from enron

a coworker clued me in on the enron 'going out of business' sale. i believe the big "E" sign with lights that used to grace the courtyard of thier HQ went for under 10k. Now thats one hunk of junk that i'd love to inflict upon my neighborhood.

in the spirit of enron accounting, i lend my father money, i lend my brother money, brother needs more money, father hires the brother who then pays the older brother (moi) with the money lent to the father. all i could do is laugh that one off maniacally; it had me spinning. im not sure whats mine anymore; metaphysically, everything and nothing i suppose.
