Cost of developing Obamacare’s web site: $637mm. What a waste compared to Twitter-$360 mm, Instagram-$57 mm, & LinkedIn-$200 mm. 2:18 PM – 15 Oct 13

Let’s see, uh, web sites that allow you to semi anonymously communicate to strangers in 140 characters or share crappy low resolution photos and fifteen second videos or which everyone ignores have the same information and complex interaction demands as signing up for health insurance.

And it appears the teabaggers in the House have stopped a vote on the debt ceiling.

Cue the asteroid.
