Charles Krauthammer points out that the free market has already punished potential Enron IIs. In Krauthammer’s words, “investors punished any company suspected of opaque accounting.” Accounting firms are also reforming themselves by better separating their consulting operations from auditing. Any legislation to prevent future Enron’s will only following the market’s loud voice.

A surprise at the Olympics is the cult status of curling. This is the second time the sport has medal status, and NBC/CNBC/MSNBC will offer 120 hours of coverage. I admit that I’m fascinated by the strategy and skill involved. Stone (the thing they slide across the ice) placement is key, and […]

If Congress did only what it’s constitutionally authorized to do, influence-peddling […]
The Toronto Globe and Mail reports that both the pairs figure skating and the ice dancing winners were predetermined. Some of these events should be banned from the Olympics until the sport can get its act together.
One other thing: no matter what the results of the upcoming ice dancing competition are, a cloud will […]
John Fund analyzes campaign finance reform and comes to this conclusion:
If Shays-Meehan becomes law, its supporters will tell their constituents they have reduced the influence of special interests in politics. But what they will really have done is increase their own influence over electoral outcomes. Some citizens may like the idea of “quieter” elections, with […]
