Well, well, well, karma indeed does seem to rule the day.
It brings me great pleasure to bring to your attention a LMAO moment of epic proportion.
This past Saturday (March 27th), Glenn Beck hosted a racist, bigoted, tea-bagger patriotism, honor, and valor rally at the University of Central Florida Arena. I'm sure Mr. Beck extolled the evils of "socilism" (and social security) and "amensty" for illegal immigrants, and I have no doubt that Mr. Beck spurred his all-too-subservient Freedom Fighters to call for the immediate "repeel" of the healthcare bill.
In fact, Glenn Beck spurred the spirits of his sheeple sooooooo much that, gosh darn'it!, they were all ready to drive on up to Washington (all 848 miles) and teach that Obama guy a lesson or two!
Except for one problem...
53 of their cars were towed because they parked in an illegal parking lot.
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Dozens of people who parked at the University of Central Florida for an event say they were set up after their cars were towed. They said event parking signs directed them to a lot, but more than 50 cars in that lot were towed. People said those signs and their cars were gone when they got back.

The people parked in a Kappa Sigma lot. Mike Vedder thinks they were set up. He doesn't know if it was a dislike of the conservative commentator or money.
"Maybe the have a deal with the tow truck company or maybe they got kickbacks under the table," Vedder said.
They all said an event parking sign clearly directed them into the lot. Students at the fraternity wouldn't comment, but WFTV caught up with the owner of Orange County Towing and Recovery, Ronald Hulbert.
"I have a lot at stake, a lot invested. I'm not going to lose it over a $125 tow, times 53, times 53, it was a good day," Ronald Hulbert said.
There's a video-clip of the report, but I can't find a way to embed it. But you can watch for yourself at WFTV's website using the link above.
Hmmmmmm... can't do too much driving without your trusty Chevy pick-up truck (Calvin from "Calvin and Hobbes" peeing on Dodge/Ford logo sticker a given). I guess they'll have to hang around Orlando with Tiger Woods and practice their family values together.
Maybe this was an actual prank by the Kappa Sigma fraternity (if so, bravo!), but it really wouldn't surprise me if these Glenn Beck 9-12'ers actually were that stupid (or arrogant) to just park in any available spots they could find.
Either way, all I can say is:
scha·den·freu·de
–noun
satisfaction or pleasure felt at someone else's misfortune.
