That part really pisses me off in a huge way. That turd ex-pres @ enron sold
$20 Million worth of his stock knowing the company was about to have the big
explosion all the while smiling and telling his employees to buy company
stock. Scumbag needs to be set on fire and put out with an icepick. Unless
he is the dickless weasle Enron corporate office whom blew his head off 3
weeks ago

Damn, now I am really freaking mad.
