I left the Muppet Daily News in March 2014.
Much of that was due to Hurricane Harry (Person, not weather event) whose desire to be King of the World was overwhelming.
So overwhelming that he, along with Pepe the King Prawn and Beaker, tried to stage a coup d'etat.
Basically in his quest to rule the newspaper world, he tried to take out Fozzie Bear.
Weird, since Fozzie not only ran (runs) the MDN, but also is one of the owners.
But never let a little thing like that try to slow a hurricane.
His solution? Cut off Fozzie's right arm (that'd be me) so it's harder for Fozzie to fight back. So that is what our little despot did, and out I go, out of MDN.
Thankfully Fozzie survived.
Thankfully I survived, and actually landed in a really good place. More on life there later.
But unfortunately, despite the failed coup, Hurricane Harry (think of Napoleon, but without the personality) survived as well, albeit at another newspaper (same company, another state).
Then just a few months ago I got news that, even 11 years later, made me grin like a silly fool.
KARMA FINALLY CAUGHT UP WITH HURRICANE HARRY.
Happy, happy, joy, joy.
And it didn't just catch him... it bit him on the ass. Hard.
Like federal criminal charges hard.
It would be sad, except he deserved it. It and so much more.
So he lost his job, lost his money (Big federal fines), may lose his freedom (doubtful, but a girl can hope), lost any respect people had for him and who knows what else.
And the stories ran in the newspaper he'd been running ... when he committed the federal offenses. And other area news sites as well.
Oh public humiliation, thank you for letting me watch.
It couldn't have happened to a more deserving person.
An extra bright spot was getting to share the matter with Fozzie. Because Fozzie lives on at MDN. He's tired, and most of the staff is gone, but he keeps on truckin'....
Fozzie found it amusing, at our recent gabfest, that mention of HH's federal charges actually made me grin. Like big cheesy grin.
And he wasn't wrong. It did.
Thank you, Karma, for catching up with Hurricane Harry and letting me watch, even from a distance.
It didn't make the debacle of March 2014 any easier, but it did make me smile.
Now if I could just see karma catch up with Pepe or Beaker....
A girl can dream....
