There's a Lesson Here: Don't Tempt Cosmic Irony
Cosmic Irony, defined by the Urban Dictionary:
Miss Manners, killed by a garbage truck. That's an example. Or your favorite racist contracts sickle-cell anemia.
Bush Attorney General Michael Mukasy collapses while defending the Bush torture policy.
Failed national candidate Sarah Palin, self-described "friend to all creatures great and small," acts "presidential" and pardons a turkey, while a bloody turkey slaughter proceeds directly over her left shoulder.
And the cameraman had warned her that bloody snow was in the lens, along with expiring big birds, but the Alaskan doofus said, "No worries!"
"A type of irony in which Fate, the Universe, God, or whichever omnipotent force you choose makes it their sole purpose to mess with your life. They like to screw you over, and watch the mayhem while laughing at your misfortune."

Will This Nightmare Ever Be Over?
"Where there is enough evidence to charge someone with a crime, we vigorously prosecute. But not every wrong, or even every violation of the law, is a crime."
