Enron

Via NRO's The Corner: The Enron Verdict. Lay guilty on all counts, Skilling on most.

Strange, how life in Houston has just rolled along these past five years, as more and more criminal activity was revealed.

Also: funny thing. A month ago I was jogging down River Oaks Boulevard, a half-mile stretch of enormous mansions running between Lamar High School and the River Oaks Country Club. Coming the other way was a man: short, gray-haired, apparently in his sixties, the only other individual in sight besides me. We got closer, closer--and as he passed me going the other way, we said hello, and I saw who it was: Ken Lay, in shorts, a t-shirt, and baseball cap. All by himself, out for a walk a few blocks away from the luxury apartment he now (well, for now) lives in.

Just seemed odd--no security detail or anything. Just Ken Lay out for a Sunday stroll.
