Front Page Story on www.news.google.com: Arnold's Enron Secret
On the friggin front page. Let's hope it stays there for a while...

Go here: http://news.google.com and you'll see the link to this article by Greg Palast:

http://www.alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=16902">Arnold's Enron Secret
AlterNet - 55 minutes ago
It's not what Arnold Schwarzenegger did to the girls a decade back that should raise an eyebrow. According to a series of memoranda our office obtained today, it's his dalliance with the boys in a hotel room just two years ago ...

1. Thats good news
Maybe people will read this. And by people I mean moderates who might be voting in the election. I don't mean FReeper psychos who dismiss everything they read as a liberal lie.

9. They may dismiss it.
But how can they ignore it? The freeps have been whipped up into a feaver that Davis is to claim for Enron. This directly contradicts that version of the story. It proves us right, once again.

And kinchpin Rush will not be able to speak against it as he is damaged goods. (But their are plenty of other Limbaughs in the sea.)

2. Damn, it used to be "above the fold"
Now it's only in the "U.S." section, though still on the front page.

Sigfried and Roy is the top story in the U.S. section.

4. HOO Ha!!!!!!!

DAMN! this is SO important.

read this article!!

on edit (a teaser):

While Bustamante's kicking Enron butt in court, the Davis Administration is simultaneously demanding that George Bush's energy regulators order the $9 billion refund. Don't hold your breath: Bush's Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is headed by a guy proposed by ... Ken Lay.

But Bush's boys on the commission have a problem. The evidence against the electricity barons is rock solid: fraudulent reporting of sales transactions, megawatt "laundering," fake power delivery scheduling and straight out conspiracy (including meetings in hotel rooms). So the Bush commissioners cook up a terrific scheme: charge the companies with conspiracy but offer them, behind closed doors, deals in which they have to pay only 2 cents on each dollar they filched.

Problem: the slap-on-the-wrist refunds won't sail if the governor of California won't play along. Solution: Recall the Governor.

15. Its right at the bottom of the page right now.
But why would an Alternet story get into the mass media? I think you guys are a little too excitable.

16. You may be right
There is a big jump to get from the internet media to the mass media. And as I've said before, the bar is raised on the day before an election. Can folks in CA tell us if this is being brought up on the ads running on TV?

Here's a link to the Palast article which I think may have started all this: http://www.maconareaonline.com/news.asp?id=4149

14. I think they'll run it.
But the bar is probably raised a bit on the day before the election.
