mo karma

Well, there is a concept that can loosely include, what some people say "what goes around, comes around". That phrase i had not used, neither did i use "payback is a bitch". I have talked about: poetic justice, irony, hubris Schadenfreude, karma, kismet, fate, nemesis.

Well, as the world knows, Congress is full of critters. In Genesis God created, "cattle and creeping things", "and every thing that creepeth on the earth","and every creeping creature that moveth". Some of these creeping creatures are reptiles, some are Republicans. Mo Brooks (R[naturally]-Ala) is one such.

Brooks talking about health care said, "My understanding is that (the new proposal) will allow insurance companies to require people who have higher health care costs to contribute more to the insurance pool. That helps offset all these costs, thereby reducing the cost to those people who lead good lives, they're healthy, they've done the things to keep their bodies healthy. And right now, those are the people--who've done things the right way--that are seeing their costs skyrocketing."

Mo Brooks has excellent government provided healthcare. Recently, the crittter, exercised his government benefits provided by the taxpayers, and found out he has cancer. We don't always see karma, but this is close to instant karma.
