  • "I had the opportunity to go out to Goree Island and talk about what slavery meant to America. It's very interesting when you think about it, the slaves who left here to go to America, because of their steadfast and their religion and their belief in freedom, helped change America. America is what it is today because of what went on in the past." —Bush, commenting on the significance of slavery in America's past Source: White House, "Remarks by the President to Embassy Personnel, Leopold Sedar Senghor International Airport, Dakar, Senegal," July 8, 2003

    Abort, Retry, Ignore

    Once upon a midnight dreary, fingers cramped and vision bleary,
    System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor,
    Longing for the warmth of bed sheets,
    Still I sat there, doing spreadsheets:
    Having reached the bottom line, I took a floppy from the drawer.
    Typing with a steady hand, I then invoked the SAVE command
    But got instead a reprimand:
    It read, "Abort, Retry, Ignore."

    Was this some occult illusion? Some maniacal intrusion?
    These were choices Solomon himself had never faced before.
    Carefully, I weighed my options.
    These three seemed to be the top ones.
    Clearly, I must now adopt one -
    Choose: "Abort, Retry, Ignore."

    With my fingers pale and trembling, slowly toward the keyboard bending,
    Longing for a happy ending, hoping all would be restored,
    Praying for some guarantee
    Finally I pressed a key -
    But on the screen what did I see?
    Again: "Abort, Retry, Ignore."

    I tried to catch the chips off-guard - I pressed again, but twice as hard.
    Luck was just not in the cards,
    I saw what I had seen before.
    Now I typed in desperation,
    Trying random combinations.
    Still there came the incantation -
    Choose: "Abort, Retry, Ignore."

    There I sat, distraught, exhausted, by my own machine accosted;
    Getting up, I turned away and paced across the office floor.
    And then I saw an awful sight,
    A bold and blinding flash of light,
    A lightning bolt that cut the night and shook me to my very core.
    The PC screen collapsed and died,
    "Oh no - my database!" I cried.
    I thought I heard a voice reply,
    "You'll see your data - nevermore!"

    To this day I do not know the place to which our data goes.
    Perhaps it goes to Heaven where the angels have it stored.
    But as for productivity -
    Well, I fear that it goes straight to Hell.
    And that's the tale I have to tell -
    Your choice: Abort, Retry, Ignore.
