US Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) on the Internets

I think, I THINK I can guess what the "2 days to get it" thing came from.

Several possiblities.

1. He does not know how to use his browser and did not notice he recieved the email 2 days earlier and did not realize the date he recieved it on.

2. He does not know how to use his browser and when someone confronted him about not responding to an email for 2 days, he lied. Anyone who has spent any time doing technical support work can tell you people constantly lie so as to not appear ignorant about computers....

3. He does not know how to use his browser and when someone confronted him about not responding to an email for 2 days, he lied so as to not appear rude.

3. Exaggeration.

I think 2 is the most likley.

The fact that this moron has a vote........ oy.

Err, sometimes there is a server down somewhere or something. I have had email take real time to reach me also.

For every time there is an ACTUAL hardware problem, there are countless more times people lie about it for a variety of reasons(#3 being the most common).

The way he describes it, it is a consistant problem, nay a threat! Oh noes! All those packets are being used for movies and frivolous things, so my poor plain text email can not get through the truck traffic!

Hmm... we could solve this particular problem by selling Alaska to Canada

It's a series of tubes.

Personally, I go for bottled internets.

Bump. This speech was featured at the opening of the Daily Show monologue a few minutes ago. It should be available on comedycentral.com soon, or you could just check when the Daily Show reruns on Comedy Central in your area.

I let it happen by not residing in Alaska.
