The DVD Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room
features a clip from a webcast in which Jeff Skilling, who resigned as
Enron's CEO less than four months before the company went bankrupt,
cracks a joke about the California energy crisis several years back that
triggered rolling blackouts and ridiculously high electricity rates -- a
crisis that was manufactured and aggravated by Enron traders:

Yeah, well there's a difference between the Titanic and Enron, too: While the Titanic sank, the captain stayed on board...
