Take Ten, or at Least Five

"This is totally going in my album."

In just a few minutes, sentencing will begin for former Enron whiz/Starbucks swillin' "mastermind" Andrew Fastow. David Gerger and John Keker, Fastow's attorneys, know that they're looking at 10 years for A. Fast, but will likely ask for a reduction anyway. We're guessing that the members of the Severed Enron Employee Coalition, if they show, may have something to say about such a reduction. Somehow, we don't think the jobless folks are getting a reduction in their mortgage payments or revolving debt interest rates. But hey, who says Enron suits get off easy?

At any rate, all this action should provide Fast with excellent fodder for his blossoming music career. "Enron Blues" in C, anyone? — Steven Devadanam
