The Geek's Raven
[An excerpt, with thanks to Marcus Bales]

Once upon a midnight dreary,
fingers cramped and vision bleary,
System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor,
Longing for the warmth of bedsheets,
Still I sat there, doing spreadsheets:
Having reached the bottom line,
I took a floppy from the drawer.
Typing with a steady hand, I then invoked the SAVE command
But got instead a reprimand: it read "Abort, Retry, Ignore".

Why the courts are skinning and stuffing Donald Trump and Company

Donald Trump isn't that bad a guy. He's creative and hard working, and he has interesting ideas. On the other hand, he's also very aggressive, selfish, self-involved and dishonest. He's also probably got a touch of dementia these days, although he retains his deeply inbred gift for the gab. So, why are the courts skinning and stuffing Donald Trump and everyone associated with him these days? And, they are! Look at this recent appeals court decision to uphold Judge James Boasberg's blocking of the illegal application of the Alien Enemies Act in time of peace. The Bush appointee didn't even ask a question during the proceeding. Just "thumbs down" to Trump. The Obama appointee characterized it as Nazi stuff. And the Trump appointee --"Well, you know, I must dissent, because these Tren Agua guys are really bad, ,but, of course, I'm still upholding Judge Boasberg's decision to block Trump's order, because, obviously, the plaintiffs will win their court cases against Trump in court." In other words, the best Trump can hope for, now, even from his friends, is doubletalk. You see, Trump really does want to turn himself into Mussolini or Hitler these days, he just doesn't have the capacity to do it. When Trump says the system is broken, he's right. But, the system is always broken, you know. The idea is, don't make it a lot worse!
