The Enron mess was allowed to happen by the Bush administration who, early on, were in need of a crisis to fix. What better than something in which they could say (a) we acted properly, unlike some Democrats we know, and (b) look we are business-savvy barons, now we're cutting taxes for the rich. Then Osama entered the picture. Now they're just trying to hustle it through proceedings so that everyone can get back to admiring George W.

The Oscars are rigged. Accuracy is for sissies when you, the Academy of Arts and Sciences, have $100 million in advertising revenue on the line, and you, the auditors, have $10 million in "auditing" revenue that could come to you. The PricewaterhouseCoopers auditors hired every year for the Oscars? The Academy isn't interested in boring Oscar ceremonies. They pay PwC to look official and they pay PwC to do exactly what they want. Sometimes head honchos agree with the voters-- Schindler's List gets the Jews and all the righteous open-minded people, but it had some great thriller scenes and all that directing stuff. But sometimes... I mean how much better is it to have Gwenyth up there instead of Steven Spielberg...again... for Saving Private Ryan. The Greatest Generation doesn't fall in the 18-54 demographic. Auditing and accounting is as we all see now completely and totally shit. Need I even mention how fucked Arthur Andersen is for its "auditing" of Enron which was completely in the toilet at least 3 years ago. Laugh at your CPA cousin. It's all meaningless paper pushing. They're not even counting beans anymore.
