Oh my lord. According to this British press report,
the former CEO of Enron, Jeffrey Skilling, has had
some kind of drunken, psychotic episode in the mean
streets of New York City. After getting a skinful
in two bars mellifluously named "American Trash"
and "The Voodoo Lounge," the former genius of
American corporate innovation began ripping
open the clothes of total strangers and accusing
them of being FBI agents, spying on him.
I assume he was looking for wiretaps under their
clothing. (Perhaps one or two of them actually
*were* FBI agents spying on him.)
The cops busted him and took him to a hospital.
Could this possibly be so? If it is, well,
F. Scott Fitzgerald would have a field day.

Google's sure not looking too good for the Jeffster.
He hasn't even gone to trial for his fraud
and insider-trading raps, yet.
