You Can't Always Get What You Want

When I logged onto AOL this morning (after a long and exhausting weekend), I found two stories on my main page.

One story was about Karl Rove leaving the White House at the end of the month, after which he will write a book justifying all of his scummy activities in politics, for which he will no doubt get a hefty advance.

The other story was about the head of a toy company in China who, after a recall of 967,000 of his tainted merchandise, committed suicide by hanging in his factory.

And I found myself wondering, Why couldn't it have been the other way around?
