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 is unlikely to get any more money to fight his Iran war, anytime soon.

While Trump is preparing a new 50 billion dollar supplementary request for funding his fantastically expensive war on Iran -- with costs of a billion dollars a day, or more -- the Congress is expected, because of extreme public dissatisfaction, and Democratic Party pressure, to simply stonewall the request for an indefinite period of time, while the Democrats systematically pillory the administration for its total incompetence and lack of planning in this incredibly destructive and pointless war of attrition between Israel and the US, on one side, and Iran and its allies like Russia and China, on the other. If they get anything at all, the Democrats are rather likely to offer only a fraction of the requested funds, and those will be tied strictly to defensive operations, to prepare for a retreat. If this is unacceptable to the Trump administation, the Democrats are likely to leave both Trump and the military hanging, to fend for themselves. This war is so very unpopular, that the American public are likely to blame Donald Trump, and not the Democrats, for any negative fallout, or blowback. Trump created these problems for himself, and the US military, the American people have had enough of his nonsense.
