Brave New World

26th February 2009

One thing that I was really hopeful of with the new administration was that Obama seemed pretty hip to the technology. I mean he’s got a Blackberry, right? I really hoped we could move away from the Shrub administration’s embrace of Dark Age style Idiocracy. Then the VP goes on TV to pimp the government’s recovery.gov, can’t remember the address and explains that he’s forgotten the “website number”. Where the fuck does Washington get these people? My mother is two years older than Biden and not the backup to the most powerful man in the world and she understands the internet better than he does.

This, of course, misses the point that he was going on the show to talk about the website, shouldn’t a properly prepared 4th grader have the address?
