    Hey, don’t paint mister Series of Tubes with that brush, that analogy is still more accurate than 99% of the bullshit about the internet coming out of DC

      Yeah…let’s not canonize Ted stevens. He was a massive piece of shit.

      That meme was him rallying against net neutrality while head of the senate commitee that regulated the internet.

          Hard disagree.

          Listen to the whole rambling speech. Its a barely contained mess, a geriatric kaleidoscope of madness about of how the internet works, clearly filtered through whatever the Comcast lobbyists told him to think.
