* ring, ring *

Trey Gowdy's Office: Hello, Trey  Gowdy's office, how can I help you?

Karma: Hello, I'd like to speak to the Representative, please. Hehe.

TGO: May I say who's calling?

K: Karma.

TGO: Karma who?

K: Why does everyone say that? Just tell him it's "Karma Chameleon" calling.

TGO: Isn't that a Culture Club song?

K: Just get him.

Trey Gowdy: Hello? What is this, some king of joke?

K: No joke, Congressman. This is Karma.

TG: I thought this was Boy George.

K: No, that was a joke. This is Karma. The Eastern idea that you will receive your punishment or reward for your deeds. You know...what comes around goes around, people get what they deserve? Karma.

TG: I don't like that sound of that.

K: Wise of you. I'm actually doing a favor for my friend Schadenfreude.

TG: What do you want?

K: Well, you know how you've been using the tragic death of the Benghazi Embassy staff as a partisan lever to try and bring down Hillary Clinton in her bid for the U.S. Presidency?

TG: I have no idea what you're talking about.

K: Of course you don't. Well, guess what, Trey Gowdy? Turns out those nasty liberals have discovered that you (gasp!) use your own e:mail server for your treygowdy.com domain name. Hehe.

TG: So what? It's for personal use - my re-election, and personal e:mail.

K: Are you sure? Because really, at this point the Democrats have no reason to take your word for it.

TG: What do you mean?

K: I mean, you raging hypocrite, that even if your e:mail server is pure as the driven snow, that the Democrats will most certainly try and prove you used it for Congressional business. Which is why I'm making this little visit as a personal favor to my colleague Schadenfreude.

TG: But my server doesn't have anything to do with Hillary's! And she DID use hers for her State e:mails!

K: Yes, I know, and reset assured I'll be paying her a little visit in my own right over that debacle. But that's not really the point, is it? What comes around, goes around. You started a witch hunt, and now the torches and pitchforks are coming for you. I love my work.

TG: I need to call my attorney.

K: Good move.

I'm not sure what the Vorkosigan Saga has to do with the death penalty but when the book comes out I bet I'll find out. Or is it a wrong link?

It's fixed. And I'm reading the eARC now. :-)
