Last night at the fifth successful Tex in the City party, I spoke to a recently converted New Yorker from Houston, Texas. We were having a very lively discussion about Dick Cheney and Haliburton, which segued into Enron. He said, "Enron did a Trade Center, pppfffffttt collapsed, gone." This clever little ditty even included a hand gesture. In the same vein that "going postal" is used to describe crazy behavior, will "Trade Center" come to mean the end of something? Is an onslaught of tacky jokes soon to follow? Ohhh, I shudder at the thought.
