19. January, 2002 - Enron, Baseball, Collections

Woo! I got the search working again. The output is pretty gunky looking, but I can put off that cleanup for quite a while, I think.
Legislators Rush to Dump Enron Money, as if Judas giving back his thirty pieces of silver would make everything right. There are a few who are keeping the money, saying that giving it away would be an admission of guilt and they've done nothing wrong. Y'know, I think I mind crooked but consistent politicians (at least you can figure out who's buying 'em) a lot less than the hypocrites. [instapundit]
Enron is hardly another Whitewater, since there are so many people involved. 71 of the 100 senators have taken Enron money. And it looks like the Clinton administration gave Enron a whole lot more favors than Bush has (which isn't surprising, since they had more time to do it). [instapundit]
Twins face an uphill battle for 2002. They're going to have a tough time signing the players they need with this contraction crap over their heads. And it's all because Carl Pohlad wants an extra $50 million for the team, and figures he can get it by doing favors for Bud Selig. [strib]
Young Pohlad offers some answers about what the family's plans are for the team. [strib]
Zeldman has a good rant on Getting Paid. Sadly, no solutions, except moving into the client's office until they pay you. Hmm. Maybe that's the answer.... [zeldman]
