the guy in charge of the internet.

Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Ted Stevens’ (R-Alaska) is conducting hearings on the so called net neutrality bill, now this guy is 87 years old and like many 87 year olds is a little behind the times. He recently stated

"I just the other day got, an internet was sent by my staff at 10 o’clock in the morning on Friday and I just got it yesterday. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the internet commercially. […]

He then asked "what happens to your own personal internet when someone else tried to download 10 movies at the same time?"

But the gem is this ditty "They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the internet. And again, the internet is not something you just dump something on. It’s not a truck. It’s a series of tubes."

A set of tubes indeed. And I mean who better to head a Senate commitee on commerce than an 87 year old from Alaska. Article found here.
