[Now that I have likely pissed off my pal Dave! and made strange bedfellows
with conspiracy freak Kirby, I thought I'd try to change the direction in
debate with this bit of information jerky. Have fun chewing.]
Y'know, I was just mulling over the idea of there being a connection between
the Enron scandal and the ongoing power gouging/crisis in CA, when I ran
across this article on the web (the URL links to the complete story, but I
have quoted teeny bits that seemed noteworthy to me in case the link goes
*boom!*)

California attorney general says expect more energy lawsuits

(01-23) 16:21 PST SAN FRANCISCO (AP) --
California Attorney General Bill Lockyer said Wednesday he is likely to file
more unfair business practice lawsuits against energy suppliers he thinks
overcharged for electricity.
<snip>
Lockyer declined to name other companies that he would sue, but his office
has subpoenaed records from Dynegy, Enron Corp., Mirant Corp. and Reliant
Energy -- all of which have denied wrongdoing. In the interview, the
attorney general did mention Enron by name, saying "we're still looking at
the energy overcharges," and he accused Enron of withholding documents.
Enron, a major energy trading concern, has filed for bankruptcy protection
following the disclosure that it misstated its earnings by hundreds of
millions of dollars.
----------------------------------------------------
Hundreds of millions, eh? Shredded documents, eh?
Will Lockyer get the needed documents for discovery of wrong-doing?
*Sure* he will...
So yeah, how far does the rabbit hole go?
We now wrap the mystery in an enigma...
...the lights are off and nobody's home...
