The Net Neutrality debate got a little comic relief last week after an impassioned speech by Senator Ted Stevens against legislating certain limitations on broadband providers. Stevens, who is most famous for his "Bridge To Nowhere" grandstanding in the wake of Hurricane Katrina budgeting, voiced disappointment over the delay in receiving "an internet" from his staff. 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, enormous amounts of material. You can't go overfilling the tubes! Can you imagine if you put too much cream into a Long John? Your fingers get all sticky and you walk into the Commerce Committee covered in internet. What he lacks in analogous explanatory power, he doesn't make up for in eloquence. But perhaps that was how it was explained to him by his here.") Drag this to your Bookmarks.
