What?!? It'll be a problem of the healthcare website isn't ready by Cyber Monday?

[Skidmore]

Seriously? Some reporter just lobbed that out there to Tamron Hall and she ran with it on MSNBC. Why should shopping online on CyberMonday be an issue? Is there a special on that day?

1. Someone who doesn't understand what Cyber Monday is...

2. Clearly.

Ir someone else had been in the room, I would have gone speechless. In the absence of company: *facepalm*

3. I guess they think the Internet tubes will get clogged up with traffic

With a Brazilian people using the tubes to buy stuff, the tube going to the health care site will be impassable--we all know how many a Brazilian is, right?

4. Ahh shit now I know my pain killers are working

For about 20 seconds I was trying to figure out what the Brazilians had to do with the website & cyber Monday.

5. You didn't get the reporter's name?

Someone will probably post it soon enough.

I'm beginning to believe that members of the republican party, in general, have little to no understanding of the internet and how it works. This is why they've been able to make (so much) hay out of the ACA website problems.

I would love to challenge any republican who participated in the hearings to write and publish just one page/screen of code (with no outside help), including one image and one link to an outside site. And then, only after doing that successfully, let them try asking questions pertinent to the problems.

I swear it's like when men, who don't understand pregnancy (like Todd Akin who said 'legitimate rape' victims have ways to try to shut that whole thing down.), or birth control (Rush Limbaugh thinks a woman takes a BC pill every time she has sex, kind of like using condoms.), talk about what reproductive rights a woman should (not) have.

Seems they should be required to have a little knowledge on the subject before being allowed to question it.

6. No, I'm sorry I didn't.

It was someone I hadn't seen before and I was only listening to Hall's program rather than attending to it visually.
