Just Appalling, Part II
Maybe heads will roll and folk will do prison time over this: Enron energy traders caught on tape (now in the hands of CBS News), gleefully bragging about manipulating California's energy market. Not only is this outright theft for which every single resident of the state deserves recompense from these vultures, it's also subversion of the Democratic process.
As I said at the time and I'll say again, Gray Davis was driven out of office largely because of the energy price fiasco that was created by these greedy fucks. Or, in other words, these pricks carried out a coup in the state of California by manipulating energy prices.
Something they were able to do because a Republican governor figured the poor little energy companies shouldn't have any kind of controls to keep them from... manipulating energy prices, ripping off state residents and fucking over a sitting governor.
Read the article. But here's a taste to get your blood boiling: when wildfires shut down a transmission line into the state, one of these traitors... er, sorry, traders, was heard to say, "Burn, baby, burn. That's a beautiful thing..."
A more beautiful thing would be his sorry ass in prison, playing punk-boy to a large, nasty man with several virulent STDs.
