“I feel sorry to say that your country is now essentially dead.”

Man accidentally 'deletes his entire company' with one line of bad code.

A man appears to have deleted his entire company with one mistaken piece of code.

By accidentally telling his computer to delete everything in his servers, hosting provider Marco Marsala has seemingly removed all trace of his company and the websites that he looks after for his customers.

I’m not sure when, I just know that at some point this bad code will come in handy, and wow! That’s some powerful code!

The problem command was "rm -rf": a basic piece of code that will delete everything it is told to. The “rm” tells the computer to remove; the r deletes everything within a given directory; and the f stands for “force”, telling the computer to ignore the usual warnings that come when deleting files.

That’s right, one line of code and it’s like it never happened.

It seems an extreme measure, butt at some point it may be our best option for removing all traces of the Obama years.

Absent that dramatic measure there is this witch’s spell from the Warren Book of Shadows that you might try:

Bos-8x06-erase-painful-memory

Although unlike the bad code, I don’t think the witch’s spell is guaranteed. So if you want to ensure that all trace of what will otherwise be noted in history books as “the dark years of the Obama period” is erased, we’re going to need to employ “the code.” Keep it handy.

And you’re welcome.

All You Can Eat

What a week. Russian jets buzzed one of our ships in international waters, and we did…nothing.

160413151339-russian-jet-us-destroyer-large-169

Oh no, wait; yes we did - we issued a protest. To Moscow:

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest says the U.S. Embassy in Moscow has communicated formal concerns to the Russian government about the incident in the Baltic Sea this week in which fighter jets flew very close to the USS Donald Cook.

I believe “formal concerns” are just one step below a harsh letter.

Also, this just in: Seals land on the beach in Cape Code, forced there by a Predator. Not our Navy Seals, thank goodness, butt gray seals, trillions of them according to eye-witnesses.

Arial-footage-shows-massive-horde-of-seals-on-Cape-Cod-beach

And wouldn’t you know it, they were driven there by Great Whites as I understand it:

No wonder the seals are occupying the island with this massive (18 trillion, according to Aaron Knight) sit-in; that is not just a trigger butt a well documented macro-aggression. #GreyLivesMatter

And this just in, to make your week: McDonalds might offer all-you-can-eat French Fries soon – imagine: ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT! That’s about as politically incorrect as the Trumpster and, I predict, will be equally popular; half will love it and half will loathe it.

mcdonald's fries“Would you like fries with your fries?”

Don’t get too excited though, until such time as we have a new team occupying the White House, the all-you-can-eat option will be mitigated by government intercession. Lady M will determine how much you can eat.

mini-fries“This is all-you-can-eat.”

Because you know how Lady M rolls, everything in moderation:

“No thanks, I’ll just have this broccoli floret,

brocolli

and this delicious snap pea.”

Because although you can get anything you want at America’s restaurants (h/t Arlo Guthrie), that’s all you really need. And it’s all you can eat.

A Donkey’s Tale

 

eeyorelongtail

Once upon a time, there was a King who wanted to go fishing.

He called the royal weather forecaster and inquired as to the weather forecast for the next few hours. The weatherman assured him that there was no chance of rain in the coming days.

So the king went fishing with his wife, the queen. On the way he met a farmer on his donkey. Upon seeing the king the farmer said, "Your Majesty, you should return to the palace at once because in just a short time I expect a huge amount of rain to fall in this area".

The king was polite and considerate, he replied: "I hold the palace meteorologist in high regard. He is an extensively educated and experienced professional. And besides, I pay him very high wages. He gave me a very different forecast. I trust him and I will continue on my way." 

However, a short time later a torrential rain fell from the sky. The King and Queen were totally soaked and their entourage chuckled upon seeing them in such a shameful condition. Furious, the king returned to the palace and gave the order to fire the professional.

Then he summoned the farmer and offered him the prestigious and high paying role of royal forecaster. The farmer said, "Your Majesty, I do not know anything about forecasting. I obtain my information from my donkey. If I see my donkey's ears drooping, it means with certainty that it will rain."

So the king hired the donkey.

And thus began the practice of hiring dumb asses to work in the government and occupy its highest and most influential positions.

And the tradition continues to this day.

Although our current head donkey has decided to fundamentally transform the way the game has changed.

Warning: Objects in Mirror Are Dumber Than They Appear

This public service announcement is to remind you why you should vote for any Republican rather than leave the Democratic Sisterhood of Traveling Victims in power.

Yesterday was Equal Pay Day: the day we celebrate yet another injustice suffered by one of the Dem’s favorite victim groups du jour: women.  Ben Shapiro explains, “women must be treated as victims… because victimhood equals virtue, and women must be granted cherished minority victimhood status.”

And what better way to cherish your victims than by declaring “Equal Pay Day” to address their victimhood? Despite the fact that the pay disparity between men and women has been debunked as one of the greatest liberal myths of all time over and over again.

Not that it was never true, butt it certainly hasn’t been for the past couple of decades or so. Still, it’s another issue that Big Guy will take credit for rectifying – you know, for his Lucrative Legacy Tour. Let the history books reflect that Barry smote unequal pay for women the day he signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act on January 29. 2009 – the very first bill he ever signed into law.

lilly ledbetter acr

And Hillary was there! The most underpaid woman of all time. Oh wait…

clinton speech graf$207k per speech for both Bill and Hill: guess those days of BIGO free are over

I guess Hillary’s quite capable of negotiating equal pay for herself, even though she hasn’t even been president yet. Butt do you know where you can find women paid less than men? At the Clinton Foundation, that’s where:

While the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation is promoting the myth of the “wage gap” in the United States, the Clinton’s own foundation pays its senior male executives 37 per cent more than their female counterparts.

And previously at Hillary’s Senate staff where female staffers were paid 28 per cent less than their male equivalents.

Still the myth of the “wage gap” persists like the Democratic dogma it has become:

“No matter how many times this wage gap claim is decisively refuted by economists, it always comes back. The bottom line: the 23-cent gender pay gap is simply the difference between the average earnings of all men and women working full-time. It does not account for differences in occupations, positions, education, job tenure or hours worked per week. When such relevant factors are considered, the wage gap narrows to the point of vanishing.”

Seriously, wasn’t it better when women just felt superior to men, butt kept their yaps shut about it?

bo and super girls

And please, spare me the feminist hate mail; I’ve already done my part in the Sisterhood of the Blazing Pantsuits:

Is Another Kardashian Presidency In Our Future?

As you know we have a long history of “Who Wore it Better” posts around here:

who wore it better mo david bowie WWIB:Lady M or David Bowie

From Valentine’s Wishes From the RED Zone -

to  Bitch Stole My Look!®:

who wore it kate beckensaleWWIB: Lady M or Kate Beckinsale

Or one of my favorites, WWIB, Lady M or Cinderella?

Screenshot Studio capture #1741

So I knew Hillary was serious about her bid to rule the world when I saw her jump into the WWIB fray:

I guess she thought that donning a Captain’s jacket would bolster her military chops. Not that she needs to establish her bona fides, having once landed in Bosnia under sniper fire.

hillaryclinton_sniperWWIB – oh never mind; it’s pretty obvious.

Butt seriously, with all of her accomplishments Hillary needn’t resort to fashion showdowns to establish her qualifications for the presidency.

This post brought to you by the Committee to Elect Donald Trump -

and the Committee to Elect Ted Cruz -

Both of whom wear their looks better than the competition.

 

And remember, if popularity was all that counted we’d have another Kardashian Presidency.

…and I’m not talking about Kanye.

“The mystery is at last revealed: why does the field of candidates for president score so uniformly low in trust, credibility, likability? Why are there no candidates of real substance, principle, and especially of real charm in this scrim of political basilisks? (snip) The reason is that the problems are unfixable, at least not within the acceptable terms of the zeitgeist, namely: the secret wish to keep all the rackets going at all costs. (snip)

And that is how Kim Kardashian gets elected president.” - James Howard Kunstler

Just Say No; Better Yet - HELL NO!

This is yuge! Barry admits to an error!

A failure to adequately plan for the aid and governing of Libya after the U.S.-led NATO attacks in 2011 “probably” was his biggest error in office, President Barack Obama said in an interview on “Fox News Sunday.”

Now he can claim to be perfect to a fault, although I’m guessing there’s a loophole in this admission – an expiration date perhaps – that will leave his legacy error free.

obama-winking-333Guaranteed 100% error-free!

Asked by host Chris Wallace about the “worst mistake” of his soon-to-end White House years, Obama listed the aftermath of the ouster and death of Moammar Qaddafi, even as he defended the intervention.

“Probably failing to plan for the day after,” Obama said – Bloomberg

You just toppled a regime and you “forgot to plan for the day after” – really!? It’s not like “I forgot my Blackberry.”

blackberryYou can’t just run back into the White House and grab it.

The Libyan military invention, Barry assured us, would “take days, not weeks.” [wrong] He later told us in a televised address that the military intervention in Libya [wrong] – was intended only to “protect the Libyan people from immediate danger and to establish a no-fly zone” [wrong]  and that “broadening our military mission to include regime change would be a mistake.” [apparently wrong]  All the while rebel groups were being provided with advanced arms “with the blessing of the Obama administration.”

So how is it that Hillary could announce, with glee, after Qaddafi was taken out that “We came, we saw, he died,” – if regime change was a mistake? Was that a mistake too? If so, what were those Stingers actually intended to do?

So while Barry’s admission of error in Libya was aimed at the right target he seems to have slightly missed the bull's-eye,

7xMPpRaClose, no cigar; should’ve used the Stingers

butt at least he’s shooting in the right neighborhood.

benghazi-map

So let’s review Barry’s top 5 Libyan mistakes, in reverse order:

  • #5 forgetting to have an exit plan
  • #4 arming the rebels with Stingers
  • #3 regime change
  • #2 the Libyan intervention
  • #1 appointing Hillary Secretary of State

Others might argue that the biggest Libyan mistake was allowing 4 Americans to be murdered in Benghazi butt as our President-in-waiting is fond of saying, “What difference, at this point, does it make!?!”

Benghazi-Hillary“Would all you annoying little people just go away.”

Others would argue that while Libya was indeed an error, it was an unforced error. It may be wise to cut our losses and not commit another one in the next election.

The Democracy Trap: It’s a Rabbit Hole

alice in wonderland and Freud jettieg

Roger Simon had an interesting post this week titled Are We Now or Have We Ever Been... a Democracy? In it he attempts to explains the RNC’s Byzantine rules for their National Convention this July.

“But then, as I understand it, you can still vote for them (Kasich, Ryan, etc.) even if they're not placed in nomination (go figure) and more importantly and most obviously, rules are made to be broken -- or, if not broken, rewritten.

And who would rewrite said rules? Why the rules committee, of course (said Alice to the Mad Hatter, or vice versa). And who determines who is on the rules committee? Well, that depends. (Didn't you just know that?) Actually there really are rules for who sits on the committee, but they vary from state to state and can be rewritten themselves. (Didn't you just know that too?)”

So let’s just cut to the quick okay? The only rule they have is that there are no rules and even that can change.

alice tea party directions

“Plenty of opportunities for the Republican delegates to vote themselves silly to find their favorite candidate.”

tumblr_m0dhqj6mkn1qj2u1wo1_400

“But would that be democratic? By then, the primaries and their humble voters would be far in the rear view mirror, a distant memory of one man, one woman, one vote.”

curious alice

“But whatever the Republicans do, when it comes to being anti-democratic, they can't hold a candle to the ironically named Democrats whose convention will be manipulated by the Super Delegates. The "super people" -- straight out of the backroom party bosses of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington -- are so super important and powerful Hillary Clinton can lose to Bernie Sanders in New York and practically every other state from here on in by landslides and Her Chappaquaness still gets the Democratic Party nomination.”

alice-in-wonderland-1440072036Oh look said Hillary Alice, I’m growing! Right before my blue eyes!

“Going further the lawyer averred that the convention, in his view, was too early and didn't give the warring sides sufficient time to come to terms, i.e. calm down.”

alice mad

And so we find ourselves, again, at that fork in the road.

alice changed

And again it’s hard to decide which way to go. Especially if it doesn’t matter. It’s enough to drive you mad.

alice mad3

I would suggest just one rule that each party adopt for their convention. It might not get us out of the rabbit hole butt it might prevent us from falling any further:

alice think3

Simple, no? No Thinky, No Talkie. Capiche?

mad hatter alice in wonderlandPerhaps I could have handled that whole Tea Party thing a little better.
