the bard predicts the bush

I meant to post this last year when I taught Hamlet, but I never got around to it. So enjoy, from Claudius's soliloquy:

In the corrupted currents of this world,
Offense's gilded hand may shove by justice,
And oft 'tis seen the wicked prize itself
Buys out the law. But 'tis not so above . . .

John Lennon put it slightly differently:

Instant Karma's gonna get you.

And freeper1271 said it like this:

Halliburton rules OK!
