What gender is your computer?

A Computer Science teacher decided to have some fun with his Night School class. He split the students into groups of Men and Women. They had to discuss what gender should computers be classified as.


The Men started off stating that computers should be classified as Female and supplied four points to back that up

No one but their creator understands their internal logic

When they communicate they speak in code language
that only they and experts can understand

Every mistake you make is stored on their hard drive for later retrieval

As soon as you commit to one you find yourself
spending half your paycheck accessorizing it


The Women who were not to be outdone supplied four points of their own
to back up their theory that computers should be classified as Male

To get their attention you have to turn them on

They have a lot of data but still can’t think for themselves

They are supposed to help you solve problems
but half the time they are the problem

As soon as you commit to one you realize that
if you’ve waited you could have gotten a better model



I think this is controversial and has the possibility of touching off a firestorm of debate.

David Brinkley has something to say

Current history shows the American people will
put up with a great deal even when the demands on them
are outrageous, as they often are. But they will not put up
with anyone who claims to be or tries to be above the law,
immune to the rules applying to everybody else. It seems
to be known instinctively that if anyone acquires that
privilege it will be the end of this country. The public will
not obey laws they dislike if their leaders don’t.

It appears the White House feeling threatened has
long since pulled its wagons into a circle and lost touch with
what was happening outside. There is every evidence they
were surprised by the degree of public anger at the events
of last weekend. So the President backed down said he’d
hand over the tapes, whereas in the past he argued this
was an intolerable invasion of his privacy. Other people’s
privacy is routinely invaded by the Federal Government
and anyone else who tried to withhold evidence that might
bear on a crime would wind up in jail.

It has always seemed doubtful that Congress could
actually bring itself to impeach the President, but since
Saturday night it has seemed they might face up to it. So
the President because he had to.

As 45 slowly edges toward the day of his eventual demise he can look back in history and see how “Tricky Dick” handled things in OUR White House.

Can you spell OPTIMISM

I have come to find out how big a victory we had in the election Tuesday. For me it means there is so much to be done by each Democrat Congress”person”. When you consider the Russia investigation and all of the cheating, lying scumbags that perpetuated the crime against Hillary Clinton and this country. Then there is the general everyday government business of how we need to take this country back from the looming debt and a list of other stuff.

Along with Optimism we also need to include Opportunity. The two paired together gives us the positive outlook and the means to start turning things around. Not only for these two years but we can usher 45 out of OUR White House and elect a Democrat in there.

This stuff stinks here

Democrats lost the chance to get control of the Senate. Lying Ted got re-elected. We do have control of the House, which is better than nothing. Is there anybody out there that can pick out the silver lining from this cloud?

November 3/2020, two years away.




UPDATE

Alright I could not see past the negativity I got.
All of the positives mentioned here are something to build on.
I posted the above from being angry that it happened. My bad. I have to ask that we get by that shit I wrote above.

8 P.M. and the Blue Wave

is looking good.

I fit has any staying power watch out 45.




UPDATE

90 percent chance of retaking the House, not so good in the Senate.

This is the mess The Right Wing has made

Here it is folks. One big mess of a government. I am not just referring to the Kavanaugh disaster, but everything since January 20/2017. Since that date we have seen how an imbecilic administration can take a country run by the Obama administration and work to destroy everything it stood for.

The Right Wing controls all three sections of government, yet they have problems pushing their policies through. Because their policies are criminal and insane. The Right Wing base refuses to understand this. Every last voter in this country, including the Red states is now poised to go into their voting booths and speak their minds on November 6. Blue Tsunami we await your arrival.

Murphy Brown tonight

Sarah Huckaliar is on Murphy Brown. I think it must have been some fancy editing.

This does not make any sense

The other day I read that after 45 saw The World Trade Center towers go down he went WOR Radio saying that now his tower was the highest in New York. Really now.

The 45 Tower in New York
Built in 1983
Has 58 floors
Including the roof it is 202.4 meters high ( 664.0 feet )

The Empire State Building
Built in 1931
Has 102 floors
At the roof it reaches 381 ( 1250 feet )
With the Antenna spire it goes to goes 443.2 meters ( 1454 feet )

Just with the roof The Empire State Building it reaches 635 feet ( 210 yards higher than that misbegotten collection of gold condemnation that 45 put together. I mean architects and engineers the world over are going to want an explanation on how his claim could be true. That is an event I would sell tickets. Three dollars a head.

Everyday

We see the news.
In the newspaper.
On television.
On the internet.

Everyday with every story we get new definitions for
Piece Of Shit and Scum of the Earth. The investigations are far from over which means we are in for a ton of more definitions.

I think they are running scared

The Repukelicans, or Reich Wing, whatever you want to call those rectal orifices that control the government in this country are getting sp scared that they are going to lose the election.

Jeanine Pirro with her constant diatribe in support of 45
Sean Hannity doing stories about Deep State
Alex Jones and his usual off the wall stories
Liz Crokin talking about a Hillary Clinton sex tape…..are you serious?

The QAnon mess that seeks to assert control over the English alphabet by postulating that each letter is the name of some secret operative in a group of conspiracies.


November 6 can not get here fast enough
The Blue Wave is going to smack the hell out of those idiots
