Kharma, or, Couldn't happen to a nicer pair of scumbuckets

Just a minute ago I got a piece of spam aimed at subprime lenders, a subdivision of mortgage lenders who appear to be about to take what looks like a very serious hit.

It started:

Hi,

Are your files threatened by the collapse of the Sub-Prime Market? Do you have disappointed 100% Clients?

WE MAY HAVE THE SOLUTION!

The URL followed, as did a whole bunch of tedious stuff that wouldn't have helped me even if I were a subprime lender.

It's sort of like watching Florida play Florida State -- you want them both to lose.

Except, of course, for the part where the outcome of Florida-Florida State doesn't take significant chunks out of the U.S. housing market. Griffin or Doak stadiums, maybe.

(Disclosure: My current editor's a Florida alum and a good half or so of my late father's family went to FSU, so it's even money whether numbers or propinquity decides this battle.)
