Is this an example of Enronics*?

  BODY:
  ENRON has spawned a new lexicon. Gov. James E. McGreevey,
criticizing New Jersey Republicans' handling of budget numbers, used
a new term: "Enronize," meaning "to hide fiscal shortcomings through
slick financial legerdemain and bald-faced lies." Here are more.

  * Enronic: when a high-flying, seemingly invincible person or entity
goes down in flames (figuratively speaking).

  * N. Ron Hubbard: L. Ron's secret twin brother, founder of the
Church of Bankruptology.

  * Enronica: cheap souvenirs, like Enron stock certificates.

  * Enrontia: the burning desire to shred things.

  * Enronymous Bosch: the company's landscape architect.

  * Enronomania: the political and economic fallout of the company
going bust, particularly thick in Washington (where Bush is
headquartered), Houston (where Enron is headquartered) and Chicago
(where Arthur Andersen is headquartered).

  * Enrontropy: the principle that a corporation's greed is directly
proportional to how many lives its failure would ruin.
