Apparently one of the wounded Rethugs thinks they own a word I actually coined right there at WTW...

Following up on the post r.e. attempts by business groups to weaken regulatory controls on Corporate Kings, here's a hell of a good candidate for Con of the Year:  the corporate types are crying and crying about how hard it is to comply with those silly things like the Sarbanes-Oxley law.
