And it looks like there might be more to this site's poor performance than just poor design – although that clearly played its part. There's this site, with the admitted goal of bombarding the federal exchange site with so much traffic that it slows to crawl, which in cyber parlance is called a denial of service attacks. At least that's what my ex-hacker wife tells me.

But now we at least know the president himself is just as sorry as the people who work for him.

The president pulled the old apology card, which has become something of a political cliché these days, and sent his critics howling. Should be interesting to see how it plays out in the long run. I have a hunch it will be the least remembered detail of this entire story.

But let's end the week on a better note. As if we needed further proof that anything the feds can do, we can do better, three random dudes built a better, cheaper website than healthcare.gov in a fraction of the time. Don't believe? Check out the HealthSerpa here. It'll blow you away with user-friendly interface and simple, but effective use of commonsense. It clearly has no place in Washington.
