    US Senator: - "The Internet is a Series of Tubes"

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_of_tubes

    "Series of tubes" is an analogy used by United States Senator Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) to describe the Internet in the context of network neutrality.

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

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 it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.
    ahahahahaa

                          In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

                                      A few years back the US Senate was having a hearing about SPAM. What they were saying proved that they had no clue of how the Internet works. Seems nothing has changed since then.

                                          He isn't even a Senator anymore.

                                          He was yet another corrupted Republican. He was a senior Senator with a ton of influence and got busted taking bribes.

                                          Hence being former Senator Ted Stevens.
