$ rm terror/ -Rf

This will probably be too nerdy for some of my readers, so I apologize in advance, but I find this hilarious, and so will Daniel, at least. Someone has written the US war on terror as a series of Unix commands. It's really quite brilliant.

$ rm Taliban
rm: Taliban is a directory
$ cd Taliban
$ ls
soldiers
$ rm soldiers
$ cd ..
$ rmdir Taliban
rmdir: directory "Taliban": Directory not empty
$ cd Taliban
$ ls -a
.            ..           .insurgents

My favorite part, and this is just awesome, is:

$ ln -s /Bad_Guys/Al_Qaeda Iraq/.

this is suuuuuuch a random question.. do you think hilary clinton will try to run for president?

Yes. She's already collecting money for her election campaign, and there are already right-wing groups collecting money specifically for keeping her from winning. I don't know about the primaries, though. I don't think people (even Dems) really want her to be President. I don't think she will get the nomination. But she will take a lot of the yellow dog Democrat votes, meaning that there might be room for a cool and weird candidate to slip in.
