Senator Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) has some interesting facts on how the internet works.

Its always a pleasure to hear experts speak on topics...

A brief overview of how the internet actually works... here

C'mon people, email this bugger and tell him to shut up if he doesnt know what he's talking about.
Truth be told, most of your emails will be deleted unread anyway, and the preferred method would be to write a letter or visit this tool in DC, but email is the quickest/easiest

What I'd like to know is-

Was he really listening to his staff who did the research or were his staff really clueless and fed him with load of craps?

Ow, that explanation hurt my head. I can't believe he's actually in charge of making legislation when he so obviously has no idea what he's talking about. IMO, there should be some sort of competency test imposed before a senator can join a committee. Ah well, this is the same guy that tried to build his Bridge to Nowhere; what can we expect?

It looks like our friend Sen. Stevens is in a bit of hot water.

FBI, IRS raid Senator's home

Senator Stevens claims he's clean, but I think he's getting kickbacks from tube manufacturers.

Nah. The telco's don't actually *produce* anything. They just charge people up the wazoo to use tubes we tax payers helped fund.
