A moment of silence, please, for the “honorable” and highly senior Senator from Alaska, Mr. Ted Stevens, who was indicted today on corruption charges for somehow forgetting to report a paltry quarter of a million dollars worth of gifts he allegedly received from the oil industry.
He holds a special place in this puny blogger’s heart, for he gifted us all with his deep knowledge that the Internet “is a series of tubes.” Thanks to him, we know it is not to be confused with “a big truck,” and it is not something that we “can just dump something on.”
Such wisdom is rare.
