This blog is a random collection of information, partly in support of my quotations web site. Other topics include wine, military news, economics, history, libertarianism, and other random things which happen to strike my fancy. Backup site is at http://quotulatiousness.blogspot.com/ (if there are no posts showing, hit the backup blog for explanation). Comments have been turned off, as the spam was getting too much to handle. Comments can be emailed to me for posting.

QotD: Enron

Add Enron to the list of topics in which a surprising number of people have a deep enough emotional investment that the mere mention of it brings commenters swarming out of the woodwork. Question whether it was possible for Skilling and Lay to get a fair trial, and you apparently can advocate abolishing jail terms in favour of the public whipping post without so much as an eyeblink from your readers.
