After all in the case of legitimate server outage the internet has a way to repair itself

I forgot to add this great tweet [twitchy.com] by the author of the final story linked in TFS when I submitted this to Slashdot:

now, imagine these guys running FEMA.

yikes.

Actually in situations like this the internet has a way to shut that whole thing down.

One might wonder what would have happened if the Romney campaign had had an experienced business manager with an MBA from a prestigious university leading them.

But.. why didn't they bring in experts in "Intelligent Design"?

Romney has an MBA and a JD from Harvard and has proven success in business management, having shown consistent ability to move into a business he barely knows, learn the ropes, and implement amazing, efficiency-amplifying reforms that clear out the deadwood, or salvage the remaining valuable assets for more productive enterprises, so it's clear it wasn't Romney's lack of management expertise that was the point of failure.

*jerk off gesture*

To paraphrase a Fox News anchor [youtube.com]:

Are these the facts that you cite as a Republican to make yourself feel better or is this real?

And the quality of Slashdot just went up.

I felt like this election was like being given the choice to sleep with your mom, or your sister. I begrudgingly voted sister, but damn we all knew it was wrong. (not voting to me is like sleeping with dad.)

You could have voted Libertarian, that's like the slut on the corner who takes all comers for $20 (free market hell yeah!) but at least she's not related. Or Green, the old toothless bag lady who wears recycled rags and rants about cats.
