This week, things are more apparent than ever that the old folks who are either in charge of everything or want to be in charge of everything really have no idea how the tech world works.  In charge of the CIA? Sure, I'll just use an AOL email address.  Want to be President? Why not sue an online encyclopedia for being an encyclopedia.  Want to be a security software developer? Just block a specific file and call it good!
