Sweet, Sweet Karma

If this is true, it would be some kind of awesome karmic justice.

The recovery from the first operation, in which part of his large intestine was extracted and the colon was connected to the rectum, did not go well. The link broke and he released feces into the abdomen that caused another peritonitis, the report said.

A second operation to clean and drain the infected area also failed, the paper said. He was then hit with inflammation of the bile duct, an illness which has a 80 percent mortality rate, el Pais said. A prothesis made in South Korea was implanted and failed and later was replaced with one made in Spain.

Not quite 'gut shot & left in a mud hole to die', but it'll do.

This line is beyond great; it deserves to be anthologized in Bartlett's.

Can't we just stipulate that when someone like Castro lives to 80 Karmic justice has been thrown out the window - it's way to late for that.

May every second of it be writhing agony.

Thanks Manuel, I stole that from my ex-brother-in-law.

Nah Avi, it's never too late for Karma to get someone. It sometimes takes a long, long time....but it gets 'em eventually.

Appropriate isn't it Keith? Him dying poisoned by his own shit. I've read that's really, REALLY painful.
