Mind From Nowhere

Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) recently spouted his "thinking" about Net Neutrality, a topic which I have discussed before. Stevens is against NN; i.e., he is shilling for the big telcos, perhaps as a break from his main job of buying useless bridges with hurricane relief funds.

Here's a sample of his understanding of the World Wide Web and electronic communications in general (source):

"Just the other day," he said, "an Internet was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday and I got it yesterday. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the Internet commercially."

An Internet?

Doesn't it make you feel good that someone with such deep understanding is the chair of the committee making these decisions?

For a truly bizarre experience, listen to the whole thing.
