Sen. Ted Stevens, the idiot Republican who called the Internet a “series of tubes” when he was in charge of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, which is supposed to be the ones who regulate the Internet in the US.

(Story.) The supposed purpose of the bill is to protect children from online predators, which, while noble is misdirected, there are better ways to do it. Of course then again, I would suggest stop federal funding of schools and libraries, that is what the local taxes are for…
