I'd be interested to hear why you think this. I've spoken with several people who I consider very knowledgeable in this area -- former SEC attorneys, people who practice before the SEC, etc. -- and they take a very different view.

My view is that day to day life will not change from a rule making perspective. The SEC regs change minimally from year to year. The recent exception, of course, was SOX, but most of the SOX regs have already been implemented and no one expects major changes on that front. The only significant rule change proposal that I am aware that is currently on the table is to change the level of disclosure required for securities offerings based on the size of issuer (i.e., large issuers will be need less current disclosure in prospectuses on the theory that they are widely held and all material info is in their periodic filings).

From an enforcement perspective, the SEC is like any other agency. Most of the people on the ground are career professionals who do their jobs conscienciously no matter the administration or commissioner. The exception is the big ticket, political items, that Spitzer is pursuing like a rabbid dog.* The SEC lost face to Spitzer several times in the last few years (e.g., market timing investigations), and I think their has been a conscious effort under Donaldson not to let that happen again. This may change under Cox.

Lastly, and this is more to Ty's point, the SEC cannot stop fraud. Enron, Worldcom, etc., would have happened regardless of who was guarding the chicken coup.

*Even though he is a political hack, I kind of like Spitzer. There is a lot of dirty shit that happens every day on Wall Street, and he has been the one guy willing to take these guys on, even if his motives are not entirely charitable.

By all accounts, the kid was pretty popular. For some reason, dropping him off at a friend's place to play was apparently not an option.

This really pissed me off. She said she has no regrets about what she did, and that she still loves the pets, etc. If any animal killed my child, I would wring the life out of that animal with my bare hands and face the consequences later. She should be looking at a manslaughter charge, to my mind.

Kill the animal? That's like killing the guy who's having an affair with your wife. OK, not an entirely apt analogy.

If the home wasn't safe, she should have taken him with her or taken him somewhere else. It's her fault he's dead. It's not really the animals' fault.

OK, we'll let fringey adopt the animal.

I have avoided following this trial, as I avoid following every "celebrity" trial.

As for OJ, that's a different story. . . if I remember the Bugliosi book correctly,...

I usually don't read books about trials I am avoiding.

I'm just saying...

Still, what do you say we put the dog up at Neverland, in Michael's room (now that he's not going to sleep with any kids in there anymore).

Fringey will get it neutered and have it go to a pit bull rescue place, because Fringey recognizes that a pit bull would be a danger to the cat. Because unlike that woman, Fringey is not a fucking moron.

I imagined that in that situation, I would not be thinking 100% clearly.

I view pit bulls the same way as mosquitoes - if God created all living creatures, what the f*ck was S/He thinking?

God didn't create pit bulls; we did. And I blame Noah for the skeeters -- he had no room for the unicorns, but lets them on? Sheesh.

People bred dogs to produce the pit bull. And, as someone pointed out (I guess on the other board), more than 90% of pit bull attacks are by unneutered dogs.

I'd love to see you strangle a pit bull, btw. Maybe you figure it'd be worn out after mauling a kid?

I'm counting on the adrenaline rush.

Plus, I've been working out!

BTW, you forgot to mention which sock you wanted.

Croak Madame perhaps?

How about Yankee Doodle Greedy?

Or Pubic Hair on a Coke Can?

Who?

The trial was long over when the book came out.

More importantly, it had been highly recommended by a trusted professional colleague. I.e., someone I was pimping for help finding a job at the time. Need I say more?

What percentage of pit bulls are neutered?
