Now that we’ve been told by the DNCMedia, never once deviating from their OFA flash cards, that OgabeCare is suffering from a few “glitches”, here is another famous historical glitch:
The Hindenburg: It’s More Than Just a Blimp!
Next week: Chernobyl, the Story of a Glitch.
Thatisall.
The week after the Chernobyl – “Building the unsinkable ship – RMS Titantic the anatomy of a glitch”
Oh my… we can get lots of miles out of this meme….

Ladies and Gentleman, I can report with complete confidence that our operations on the Western Plains are in fine order. It is correct that General Custer has encountered a minor glitch at the Little Big Horn but we’re confident he will have everything worked out shortly.
General Paulus to Command,
Don’t worry fellas it’s just a glitch…
CDR Jim Lovell on Air-to-Ground 1: “Houston, we’ve had a little glitch.”
What a coincidence. In March, 2011, Japanese power company TEPCO also reported a glitch at the nuclear power plant located in Fukushima. They recently measured a new record high level of radioactive emissions at 140,000 becquerels per liter, which I am sure means that they are well on the way to fixing this ‘minor inconvenience’.

Other glitches throughout history
We could have fun with some of the Russki’s “industrial Accidents”, as well as the Chinese – if only we could find out what they were. Many years ago, an amateur ham operator heard somebody calling for help from orbit (this was in the 60’s) – and it wasn’t us. And they weren’t speaking English. For some reason, we never… Read more »

Apparently there was a glitch in our teletype machine. Now understand that correct order from Wannsee was to “Thrill all of the Jews”. Plans are underway to host big cultural fair and music festival, but fear attendance may be low due to prior miscommunication.
And the little glitch in San Francisco in 1906.
Or the little glitches in the north eastern power grid in 1965 and 2003.
