Healthcare.gov = Too much traffic = Unpopular (according to Fox News and company)

As many now know, yesterday was the first day people could check out their healthcare options under the Affordable Care Act at healthcare.gov. While there were numerous reports of people experiencing problems on the site, this was largely due to heavy traffic. This will occur on many sites, such as Twitter, on especially busy occasions. So how did some members of the Fox News team and other like-minded individuals take this? Obamacare is unpopular and has failed.

Allow me to explain something to Fox News and company - when people are having trouble logging into a site due to heavy traffic, that means the site has an extremely large number of visitors at that moment. This means the site was quite popular yesterday, glitches and all. 

With this kind of thinking, Fox News would probably think the following:

- "Traffic was bad because of the game? I guess not a lot of people went to the game then, huh? That's disappointing. It really is."

- "You had to wait in line all that time for the new item everyone is talking about? Must not be very popular then. Sales numbers are going to suck."

- "I didn't get in to see my doctor until an hour after it was scheduled! There's just no excuse for that kind of laziness! The place didn't seem very busy. I'm not sure why the room was so full of people, though. They were probably just there to read magazines and watch the soap operas that were playing."

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
