Oh, FFS! Attack of the script kiddies.

Nope.  I’m not going to name them here.  They can get their publicity and their ya-yas from the Corporate Media.

A group of teen aged, script kiddies have defaced about 43 websites of United States elected officials and US official websites. The children in question, have a history of “hacking” websites, more correctly labeled “cracking,” using the Joomla content management system

The “attack,” read temper tantrum, came shortly after President Obama’s State of the Union address.  Their message was as refined and mature as their tantrum. The children responsible have problems with Communism, which I doubt they can define, and President Obama.  Sounds like Republicans to me.

The timing of the temper tantrum is interesting given that it came shortly after the State of the Union speech and one day after a junior, spook-in-training from the Republican camp, Stan Dai, was busted with his fellow conspirators in an attempt to interfere with a federal phone system.

The juvenile crackers claim to be from Brazil and they’ve left messages in Portuguese in previous tantrums. The fact they attack only one type of system is evidence they know nothing more than writing scripts using software designed for them by real hackers.

What a bunch of pathetic children.

Three jokes equals one snarky commentary

Vampire bat

A vampire bat came flapping in from the night covered in fresh blood and parked himself on the roof of the cave to get some sleep.

Pretty soon all the other bats smelled the blood and began hassling him about where he got it.

He told them to go away and let him get some sleep but they persisted until finally he gave in.

“OK, follow me” he said and flew out of the cave with hundreds of bats behind him.

Down through the valley they went, across a river and into a forest full of trees.

Finally he slowed down and all the other bats excitedly milled around him.

“Now, do you see that tree over there?” he asked.

“Yes, Yes, Yes!” the bats all screamed in a frenzy.

“Good” said the bat, “Because I sure as heck didn’t!”

Speaking of vampires…

10 commandments

The Ten Commandments display was recently removed from the Alabama Supreme Court building. There was a good reason for the move. You can’t post:

Thou Shalt Not Steal
Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery
and
Thou Shall Not Lie

in a building full of lawyers and politicians without creating a hostile work environment.

Did I mention qualifications?

The Less You Know, The More You Make

“Salary Theorem” states that “Engineers and Scientists can never earn as much as Business Executives and Sales People.”

This theorem can now be supported by a mathematical equation based on the following two postulates:

1. Knowledge is Power.
2. Time is Money.

As every engineer knows:
Power = Work / Time

Since:
Knowledge = Power
Time = Money

It follows that:
Knowledge = Work/Money.

Solving for Money, we get:
Money = Work / Knowledge.

Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity, regardless of the amount of work done.

Conclusion:
The less you know, the more you make.

Thus ends today’s snarky commentary on the political environment in the US.

Corporate Boat Race

An American automobile company and a Japanese auto company decided to have a competitive boat race on the Detroit River. Both teams practiced hard and long to reach their peak performance. On the big day, they were as ready as they could be.

The Japanese team won by a mile.

Afterwards, the American team became discouraged by the loss and their morale sagged. Corporate management decided that the reason for the crushing defeat had to be found. A Continuous Measurable Improvement Team of Executives was set up to investigate the problem and to recommend appropriate corrective action.

Their conclusion: The problem was that the Japanese team had 8 people rowing and 1 person steering, whereas the American team had 1 person rowing and 8 people steering.

The American Corporate Steering Committee immediately hired a consulting firm to do a study on the management structure. After some time and billions of dollars, the consulting firm concluded that “too many people were steering and not enough rowing.”

To prevent losing to the Japanese again next year, the management structure was changed to “4 Steering Managers, 3 Area Steering Managers, and 1 Staff Steering Manager” and a new performance system for the person rowing the boat to give more incentive to work harder and become a six sigma performer. “We must give him empowerment and enrichment.” That ought to do it.

The next year the Japanese team won by two miles.

The American Corporation laid off the rower for poor performance, sold all of the paddles, canceled all capital investments for new equipment, halted development of a new canoe, awarded high performance awards to the consulting firm, and distributed the money saved as bonuses to the senior executives.

The next time you’re wondering what happened to your 401(K) or the housing market or the auto companies or you wonder why wages have been stagnant since the 1980s, read this joke again – and again – and again – and one more time.  Perhaps the humor of the situation will begin to sink in.   Perhaps then you’ll realize, the joke is on you.
