Where is the Karma?

How is it that good, honest, hard-working, decent people (me and my husband) have to work our sticky buns off trying to make a buck and do things like pay for my son's birthday cake, and yet... Marcus. Vick. can. still. enter. the. NFL. draft?!?!

Let's recap: the former Virginia Tech quarterback was canned by the school earlier this month, after he was spotted stomping on another player's leg (no accident) in the Gator Bowl and was pulled over for speeding and didn't have a valid driver's license. This, after Tech had virtually given him several second chances already. (His reinstatement after a pot/speeding bust and a conviction involving an underage drinking party was contingent on him keeping out of trouble.)

But the younger, dumber brother of Michael Vick (not that he's a saint either) is still going to make more money than I'll ever see in a lifetime, all because he can throw a freakin' ball.

The deadbeat declared his eligibility for the NFL draft after his dismissal from Tech. Today, the NFL approved his bid to enter the draft. What really stinks is, I guarantee you there's some team out there that will take him.

Still, this made me feel better.
