He Does Work All Things
July 6th, 2006 | brainjuice
Ken Lay once said, “We believe God is in fact in control and indeed he does work all things for good for those who love the Lord.”
There are so many different ways to take that, today.
Ken Lay, then: old, living his last few years in what must have been constant fear and a crushing sense of loss, and then dying in a massive heart-ripping coronary that can only have been almost unimaginably painful.
A lot of people are saying he got off too easy.
is the award-winning creator of graphic novels such as 
He absolutely got off too easy. The man deserved to rot in jail for what he did.
I love that the conspiracy theories are already floating around, that he faked his death, that he committed suicide…
Neither of those sound all that farfetched, unfortunately.
Huh. I wasn’t actually certain, until I heard this, that the man even had a heart.
Comte, that’s the hardest I’ve laughed all day.
I’m fond of these two paragraphs in
the Globe and Mail. The reporter
apparently has a biting sense of
humour…

â€We’ll all come through this stronger and more reliant on God,†Mr. Lay told them. â€God will answer prayers.â€
If his prayer was to stay out of jail, his wish has been granted. Mr. Lay, 64, died early this morning of a massive heart attack at his vacation home in the exclusive mountain retreat of Aspen, Col.
“Mr. Lay, 64, died early this morning of a massive heart attack at his vacation home in the exclusive mountain retreat of Aspen, Col.”
The ghost of Hunter Thompson perhaps?
And I can see his spawn, proudly plodding on their stolen inheritance: ‘Grampa never spent a day in jail’.
Fucker. Rot in hell.
Come on now everyone, he was a human being who…wait…this is the fucker who stole pension funds and left thousands of people without jobs, money or futures?
I hope he shat himself while he died.
I wonder how much money he had left after bribing the docs to forge his death certificate?
“The ghost of Hunter Thompson perhaps?”
We need more evil fuckers to retire to Aspen and die painfully before we start sketching out causal links, but it’s certainly a nice thought.
Whoa…Warren scoops my local news. If I was more paranoid I would say it was one of the following
A)Suicide
B)A hit before he could sqeal like a pig
C)the Illuminati
The Bitch got off easy either way.
Fucker absolutely got off too easy.
I have a family member who lost his whole pension (just as he was about to enter early retirement) due to Ken Lay. Now he’s trying to support his family with a lower paying job, fervently hoping that his last day will consist of his coming home after work and dropping dead, because if he got sick or couldn’t work for some reason, his family would quickly be homeless. In other words, he can only dream of his life ending as well as Ken Lay’s did.
If there had been any justice he would have been harpooned by Norwegian whale hunters…
This is already on wiki. Those guys work fast!
I don’t believe for a second that he’s really dead. I’ll bet anything he’s already absconded to a villa in Brazil.
I hope some disgruntled stockholder crashes the funeral and tears a piece off the corpse for DNA testing.

Reminds me of a conversation I had with someone at my favorite watering hole. He said basically the same thing; he’d only accept that Lay is actually dead if they took a sample right before they closed the coffin and buried it under some concrete.
