Don't Drop The Soap Bernie

It isn't often that I smile while reading the news, but yesterday's reports that Bernard Ebbers is getting 25 years in the slammer brought a wide grin to my face. Personally I think he should be drawn and quartered, but at his age 25 years will amount to a life sentence. It ain't over til its over, though. Given the way Republicans reward criminal behavior it is entirely possible he'll be pardoned and put in charge of the SEC.

You're next, Ken.
