This thread makes excellent points!

CalPERS is showing $145 billion in assets, that's no small change.

Ken Lay -- one of the first things he did when he had control of Enron was to mess with the pension fund and take money out -- way before anyone had heard of him OR Enron. If memory serves, Halliburton took away pension money when they bought Dresser. And the UT fund, UTIMCO, is another good example -- way way cozy with Bush buddies.

CalPERS has invested in the Carlyle Group in the past, also Enron partnerships, so it has a rather checkered history.
