The Internet’s in the Mail…

By Brian | July 3, 2006 | Share on Facebook

Ladies and Gentlemen, Senator Ted Stevens (R-Alaska):
(hat tip: Lileks)

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.

[…]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.

And if you don’t understand those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and its going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material…

[…]The whole concept is that we should not go into this until someone shows that there is something that has been done that really is a violation of net neutraliity that hits you and me.

Can you believe….What is he….How could anyone …. BBLLLAAAARRRRGGGHHH!!!

Sorry. The mind boggles. There is nothing left to say, except that it’s a pretty safe bet that no net neutrality legislation is going to affect this guy.

A series of tubes? Wow…

    I would comment on this, but I’ll be busy the rest of the afternoon finding pieces of my skull and gluing them together.
