Senator Stevens on how the internet works

There is no better argument for promoting science literacy among US citizens than the current ignorance of our legislators who have absolutely no clue about the technological issues they have to vote on.

Here is Alaska Senator Ted Stevens (R) on sending internets.


UPDATE:

This post details what happened when Senator Stevens' staff tried to send him an "internet" and it didn't reach him until 5 days later. (Hint: it involves streaming video of a pet adoption gone bad as well as a fraudulent Nigerian bank account.)
