At the end of Milbanks' column on the 4th- about * easing ethics rules.

"And lo, great profits shall thou take and bring unto me. Yay, great earnings shall though place upon the Altar! And unto thy stash thou shall taketh a part therof and leave the Heathen and retired, breathless and sore amazed! For thou shalt be let off the hook and pass unto the land of great resorts!" - Book of Enron 23:23
