Why do these people think for a moment that they can pull this crap and not get caught? Once again, we see proof that unethical behavior not only gives you a guilty conscience, but when (not if) you get caught, it’ll blow up in your face. Even if it doesn’t seem to be working in the scandal-ridden US government at the moment, it will. Meanwhile, Japan’s opposition party has just shot itself in the foot, big time, by faking an e-mail alleging connection to a corporation under investigation.

Party leader Seiji Maehara and his lieutenants stepped down after the party’s credibility was torpedoed by one of its own lawmakers, who used a fraudulent e-mail in an apparent attempt to discredit Koizumi’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party.

The funny thing is I’m sure they could have found some real dirt–no need to make any up. then the scandal would have played their way.

Business Ethics magazine’s e-mail edition reports that the Milwaukee Repertory Theatre is doing three plays on business ethics this year!

The trilogy features Garson Kanin’s 1946 comedy “Born Yesterday,” about an uncouth business tycoon going to Washington, D.C., to buy political favors; David Mamet’s comedy “Glengarry Glen Ross,” about a “shark tank that masquerades as a real estate sales office”; and “The Voysey Inheritance,” a 1905 drama that looks at a family’s lucrative business and the attempts by a member of the younger generation to reform the company’s dishonest practices.

I couldn’t find this on the magazine’s site, so far.

But is that cool, or what?
