I ran across this posting from my favorite online publishing, The Huffington Post. Thanks, Bob Cesca.
For those who don't know (everyone but my husband, with whom I discuss Senator Stevens with purplexing regularity) Ted Stevens is one of my guiltest pleasures and, seeing as he made into Cesca's "to be thankful fors", he must be included here:
"In a world that grows exponentially more complex by the second, it's nice to know that we can still bullshit our way around actual information. This goes especially for the kids. Take the advice of Senator Ted Stevens, kids. If your teacher asks you a question you're unprepared for, just go batshit loony and reply, "It's a series of TUBES!" For example, how does the Pythagorean Theorem work? Answer: it's a series of TUBES! If Senator Stevens can get away with it -- and he's the chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee in charge of regulating the internet -- then so can you. Thanks, Senator Stevens, for making gibberish awesome again. And a bonus thanks for giving America another reason to support term limits on U.S. senators."
Formerly-fourth-in-line-for-the-Presidentcy Stevens is my batshit hero. Good times.
