I'm trying to imagine what sort of mixed metaphors he's amusing himself with, but my imaginer isn't up to the task, it seems. This may be for the best.

Republicans are apoplectic about Healthcare.gov, the official Web site for the Affordable Care Act.

They are trying desperately to change the subject from their disastrous government shutdown by ranting about the failures of a government Web site that cost a tiny fraction of what was lost as a result of the shutdown.

Republicans are pretending that they care about the problems encountered in signing up for a system that many of them are bent on destroying.

They are demanding an immediate fix to something they want to break.

They are trying to deflect public outrage away from their record-low approval ratings.

A well written piece, Finn. Apoplectic beyond all reason seems to be the order of the day.

We have one side trying to fix a problem with nothing constructive coming from the other. If this were an issue effecting, involving a Right plans roll out you betya conspiracy theories would abound!

According to a couple of experts interviewed on the newshour last evening the ACA site was required to interact with 30 different State sites. Not all of these 30 sites were implemented in the same manner.

Given my thirty years working with computers I had no sooner remarked to Florence that the GOP was looking at the Mythical Man Month when the expert from Texas made the same comment. The MMM refers to the silly idea that if you put nine men on the job a woman can have a baby in one month.

It would appear given the size of the task the wonder is not that it does not work but that it even functions at all. Another shining example of States Rights. Given that Single Payer is a cooperative effort between Ottawa and the ten provinces I now realize that it would never work here. The mere thought that Washington and the 50 states could work together is laughable.

Don't throw them a life line… I say let them stand by their law as implemented and face the voters and pay for their actions. No delays to give them cover from what they shoved down the people throats against their will.

It is now fact that hundreds of thousands, Millions, are losing the health coverage they had and are being pushed into a system that doesn't work and cost more. The Dems are bleeding votes and we should offer no Band-Aids.

Heard on NPR yesterday that the overall authority regarding the website was directly the government, that no single contractor had overall supervision of it.

Regardless if it was required to interact with thirty State systems, based on God alone knows what software that it even stay up is a niracle.

All this bitching about the government is pointless. Imagine trying to run a business where middle management is arbitrarily changed after elections and none of the new managers are required to demonstrate ability or any other qualifications. The system guarantees that nothing will work well, and the poor soids at the bottom get all the blame.

But as long as Mickey Dees can point at government workers and con you into crying "They get paid too much" you will drink the kool aid. Then Mickey got caught by making a phone call to its employees telling them they qualify for food stamps and other governmen aid. I guess Wally World will be next.

This country's days are numbered.
