New In the spirit of "Modern SCO executive"
( https://lwn.net/Articles/34848/ )

Open Thread? I’m many hours late for Tom’s Gilbert & Sullivan parody below, but here’s my own contribution (let me know if you don’t know the original and I’ll provide a link):

As someday it may happen that a sucker must be named —
I’ve got a little list,
I’ve got a little list
Of society offenders who must henceforth be defamed:
They’d none of them be missed,
They’d none of them be missed!

There’s the Habermans and Thrushes of the failing New York Times,
The parodists who try to outmaneuver Gilbert’s rhymes;
The Christie from New Jersey — well, his Bridgegate ran aground,
And Rudy Giuliani whose ambition knows no bound,
And all the Trump confessors who the royal arse have kissed,
They’d none of them be missed.
I don’t think they’d be missed.

(He’s got ’em on the list,
They’re on the Donald’s list,
And they never will be missed,
I’m sure they’ll not be missed!)

There’s the wee Attorney General who never got the gist:
The elf is on the list!
I’ve got him on the list!
I look at all my Cabinet and I am truly pissed,
‘Cause they’d none of them be missed!
They never would be missed!

There’s the Tillerson who vainly tries to reconfigure State;
DeVos, whose education goals are driven by pure hate;
Interior and Energy, who want to
drill for oil,
And what’s his name, Ben Carson, who’s an idiotic foil,
And Mnuchin who believes himself a great economist —
Well, he never would be missed,
I know he’d not be missed!

(He never will be missed!
Mnuchin won’t be missed!
Like the others on this list,
I know he won’t be missed!)

There’s the son-in-law, young Jared,
He’s a nasty little creep
(But his wife I love a heap:
Ivanka I will keep!)

All leaders of the Congress,
Like the Turtle and the Ryan,
They think they’re very fine,
But they really crossed the line!

The “loyal opposition,”
Like the Chuck and Nancy Show;
My wives both past and present —
Every one is just a ho’ —
My children by Melania,
Ivana, Marla too,
They’re mostly Presbyterian
(Ivanka is a Jew).
And Sarah Huckster Sanders
Who can lie while looking pissed.
They’ll none of them be missed,
I know they’ll not be missed!

(These people won’t be missed!
That’s why they’re on the list,
For they’ll none of them be missed,
I know they won’t be missed!)

My former inner circle —
None of whom I ever met —
They all are in my debt!
They’re on the list, you bet!

There’s Bannon, Priebus, Spicer, Flynn,
And Comey (very louche)
And Tony Scaramouche
Who’s really quite a douche;

And biographers like Michael Wolff and Tony Schwartz and all,
And mogul Rupert Murdoch
Who just married Jerry Hall;
And writer Graydon Carter,
Who insulted finger length;
And all those pseudo-patriots
Who’d question Putin’s strength;
And CBS and CNN and MSNBC,
They’re on the list, you see!
They all insulted me!

(They all insulted him,
They must think Trump is dim;
But they’re all upon the list —
They made it on the list!)

Cheers,
Scott.

New when he is refering to the bald, who does he mean?
"Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts" – Richard Feynman
New Twittler.
New dont see any bald references in there
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Twittler
I guess I need to catch up with the cool kids
"Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts" – Richard Feynman
New Definition #2
Ivanka (supposedly) made fun of the way he wraps his "hair" around his bald spot in The Book.

HTH.

Cheers,
Scott.
New ah, ok. you do note the author saying he made a lot of shit up right?
altho that piece sounds likely
"Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts" – Richard Feynman
New I haven't (and won't) read the book.
I don't really care if he misinterpreted/made-up/whatever some/most of it.

Trump is clearly (to me, anyway) brain damaged. And he's surrounded by a bunch of wannabe idiots/crooks/racists/traitors. If The Book helps speed Trump's and his minions' departure, that's fine with me.

Cheers,
Scott.
New fair enough
"Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts" – Richard Feynman
New I'll drink to that, unreservedly; there remains NO Time to piss away. F*ck Twitter in the >wallet<.
New It's been many a moon since we saw Rick on here...
...but I had a beer and a long chat with him here in Helsinki last August, at World Science Fiction Convention 75. Also, he popped up on /. just the other day: When F00F Bug Hit 20 Years Ago, Intel Reacted the Same Way.

Same old username (as above), but now on iki.fi

(Yeah, yeah, it redirects to the same old GMail... But just in case I ever want to change.)
New Neat. Small world.
New Yeah, we corresponded for a time after his self-eviction from here..
Brilliant mind, I thought.. if somewhat scant on std. social mores and like that.
But always I'd prefer that omission to std. mindless conformity, right?
Wonder what his take on the dis-US meltdown might be..

;^>


PS: perspicuous delving! finding him there (..just How!?) and all that. (Maybe he gave you the link, in person.)

Carrion
It's in microinstructions now. Soon may be in the North Sea herring!

Hyvää päivänjatkoa..
New His wife, Deirdre, tweeted the /. link.
I'd started following her on Twitter at the beginning of WC75 as one among several desparate attempts to get hold of him. (Still do, because even though she doesn't tweet a lot of her own original material, she re-tweets lots of interesting stuff.)

EDIT: This was before the election, so we didn't discuss the current mess you're in -- back in August, we still blithely assumed Hillary was going to win. His personal (though not very personal) homepage is at http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/, but a quick browse just now didn't show any content about recent politics.
