There’s one company now you can sign up and you can get a movie delivered to your house daily by delivery service. Okay. And currently it comes to your house, it gets put in the mail box when you get home and you change your order but you pay for that, right.
But this service isn’t going to go through the interent and what you do is you just go to a place on the internet and you order your movie and guess what you can order ten of them delivered to you and the delivery charge is free.
Ten of them streaming across that internet and what happens to your own personal internet?
I just the other day got, an internet was sent by my staff at 10 o’clock in the morning on Friday and I just got it yesterday. Why?
Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the internet commercially….
They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the internet. And again, the internet is not something you just dump something on. It’s not a truck.
It’s a series of tubes.
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 its going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.
Now we have a separate Department of Defense internet now, did you know that?
Do you know why?
Because they have to have theirs delivered immediately. They can’t afford getting delayed by other people…. |

I think the comments on that blog sum up any thoughts I might have on this. How scary that someone with this level of understanding is in charge of a committee that will have an effect on how the Internet is regulated. |

So I searched, I really searched, to see if this was a spoof or a put on or not. But it really seems real. Juxtapose his comments with this article that I also found...

CHAIRMAN STEVENS RECEIVES INTERNET SUPER HERO AWARD
While Marvel’s Spiderman is known for casting webs to protect people from villains, it was Alaska’s own “Incredible Hulk” who was honored for his work on protecting children on another kind of web.
Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Ted Stevens (R-Alaska), known on Capitol Hill as the the Hulk, today received the Wired Kids’ first annual Internet Super Hero Award at the organization’s fifth Wired Kids Summit. Stevens was presented with the honor for his commitment to educating and protecting children on the World Wide Web.
“The Internet Super Hero Award is given to people who do extraordinary things, ordinary people who tap the super hero within them,” said Parry Aftab, Executive Director of Wiredsafety.org. “Senator Ted Stevens, as many of you know, has been a hero to children throughout the United States.
” Wired Kids’ Teenangels and the newly formed Tweenangels are FBI-trained teenage and preteen “experts” on Internet safety and policy. The organization’s Wired Kids Summit is an event designed to inform policymakers, law enforcement and Internet and entertainment industry leaders about important kids-related Internet issues. Last year, Senator Stevens teamed with Wired Kids, and superheroes Spiderman and the Incredible Hulk to teach Anchorage students about Internet safety.
Addressing the children attending the Summit, Stevens said: “The Internet is a great thing for America and for the world. I am chairman of a committee now that works to make the Internet not only safer, but more available to everybody. The Internet has brought our Natives into the global economy. The Internet has brought our states together. It brought our schools together. In Alaska, we teach at schools that have 12 grades in one building by using the Internet at our universities in Fairbanks and Anchorage. They learn what you learn, whereas just a few years ago they did not have that opportunity with only one or two teachers in 12 grades. So the Internet means a lot to us in Alaska. I hope it means a lot to you and we hope you’ll work to help us save the Internet and make it safe for everybody.”

Nancy, try C-Span. I heard the audio clip this morning. AAR played it in the 8am to 9am hour. I dont think Stevens could start a computer, let alone fire up yahoo or g-mail. Let alone download a porno. |
