Senator Ted Stevens (R – Alaska) hips us to the internet:

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.

God help us. Libertarians are fond of saying that the Bill of Rights should stop after the first five words: Congress shall make no law. While that may sound extreme, there’s a certain wisdom in keeping a moron like Ted Stevens away from any law-making.
