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".

Trump has finally self-destructed completely with his War on Iran, just like Saddam Hussein

Remember how powerful Saddam Hussein seemed, before his war on Iran? Remember how he seemed invincible? Remember how popular he was in the US, and Europe, for "getting Iran in hand", after the Shah fell, and the Iranian hostage crisis? How did that work out for him? Having lost the war, and having to give back all the territory he had held in Iran, beccause his nation was totally exhausted, and he couldn't possibly fight anymore, despite the fact the US was 100% behind him, Saddam Hussein found his financial and political situation so weakened, that he had the really bright idea that he'd invade Kuwait. After all, they had plenty of oil, plenty of money, why not just "take them over"? Doesn't that sound just like Donald Trump? Of course it does! But, Saddam Hussein was biting off more than he could chew here, once more, because he had bitten off more than he could chew, by invading Iran. And, Saddam Hussein ended up paying the ultimate price, didn't he? Is history repeating itself, once again?
