Many people in power or positions of leadership, both in gov't and the private sector, have no clue how tech works or even what it is capable of. Look at Bush the 1st - he was amazed by a supermarket checkout scanner. And I doubt the CEO of Pepsi or GM could explain the internet better than ol' Ted here. |

It's sad he has a vote to use in the Senate.An incompetent asshat like that needs to be voted out of office before he accidentally pokes his eye out by walking into an object such as a door knob or burns himself with matches.  -- Bass....the glue of rhythm and harmony...the heartbeat of the band.!
