Do you think I will go to jail or should I use the Bush defense and just have to "pay it back"?

Corporate America just loves this clown. You can lie, cheat and steal and If, and only IF, you get caught there are no consequences!

1. Is that Two Thousand or Two Million?
Two Thousand, you'll go to jail...

Two Million, you'll be asked to become a "Bush Pioneer" and get the Ken Lay suite at the White House

Just like suspension with pay always signifies a worse infraction than suspension without pay. How does that work?!?

5. Interesting point
A friend of mine was suspended without pay from his job. What did he do to deserve it? He took too many days off.

6. It just encourages stealing
Many people would steal if the only consequence was paying it back. If you don't get caught, you get richer. If you get caught, you are only out what you got by stealing. It is a no lose situation. Usually, you will lose your job, go to jail or prision for a varying length of time, and never work as an accountant (a common profession of embezzlers) again.
