Hawaii missile alert:

Hawaii media reported that the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency website was overwhelmed and unresponsive. Hawaii News Now reported:

Soboroff said the state's EMS has staff on duty 24 hours a day inside a command center at Diamond Head Center. He said based on what he heard from Emergency Management officials during his reporting, the time that it would take to confirm a missile was on the way and then alert locals would be a matter of minutes.

Elsewhere, Hawaii News Now collected reactions from tourists and locals who were at a farmer’s market when the alert pinged phones. Local news websites included a video of a man stuffing a child in a manhole.

Though the error confirmation was sent within about 15 minutes on Twitter, it took emergency management officials nearly 40 minutes to send out a 'false alarm' alert to cell phones — using the same mechanism that sent out the emergency warning in the first place.

Good grief.

The Centers for Disease Control planned to meet next week to talk about America's response to a nuclear attack. On Friday, the CDC said the conversation was postponed.

The focus of next week's meeting now is " the flu."

What in hell?

And still nothing from The Most Notable Loser?
