  • It must have been a temporary glitch, Karissa, because the page comes up fine for me.

  • Fox seems to have pulled the story. Nothing shows up on the link anymore.

  • I think the single most telling part of this quote is the hyphenated aside, "-- none of which I know how to work --". This says it all. Just think of the comment twenty years ago, with "CD Player, PC, Colecovision and NES" in place of Obama's list. This is sheer hyperbole.
