Take a Dime from Ken Lay!

Also from Mr. Bill -

LINK - A quick check of the Google "AdWords" site suggests that Mr. Lay pays about $25 a day for linking ads to the searches. Every time someone uses Google to search for sites about "Ken Lay" or "Enron," among other terms, and then clicks on the link to the kenlayinfo.com site, that click costs Mr. Lay a little less than a dime. His case hasn't yet gone to trial, but he's trying to score points in the court of public opinion, and he's willing to pay for it.

Here's where the concept of sublime justice comes in. For some former Enron workers, who had nothing to do with the shenanigans at the top but who saw their nest egg of company stock destroyed, the invitation to make Mr. Lay pay, even a little, was too good to pass up. A former executive of the company acknowledges that when he first heard about the AdWords arrangement, "I just clicked three or four times, you know; Ka-ching! Ka-ching! Ka-ching!"

Well, isn't that nice! Ken's thoughtfully providing us an easy link to his site right there at the top of the Google search results page! I wouldn't want him to feel that I didn't appreciate his effort, so I clicked that link a number of times.

What I also thought was nice was eBay's ad in the right sidebar:
