1. There is little doubt that Lay will be offered up

The question is, will he then turn the heat up on his administration friends in order to procure his GOOJF card?

2. There's only one man I'm waiting to hear about......

and that's Ken Lay. I was standing in line at the grocery store recently, and right behind me were two ladies talking about Martha Stewart. They were both commenting on how she's headed for prison, but what about Ken Lay? What rock is he hiding under?

That's what I'd like to know, too. As they continue to round up the Enron Demolition Derby and indict one after another, the obvious question will be...

when is it Ken's turn?

3. not before november

Call me cynical, but I just don't see any way that they'd put Lay on trial before the elections. That's all W needs is for us to be able to drag yet another skeleton out of his walk-in closet.

4. Take a wild guess who Fastow donated to...
