Thank Jesus we have Ted Stevens in the Senate to
get to the bottom of this Karl Rove missing email thing.

Who better than Ted to plunge into the intricacies of cyber-tech difficulties and bring the whole mess to light?

Slap on a visor, Ted, and get to work!

1. Yeah...
he said he downloaded the entire internet one time. I'm sure Rove's emails had to be included in that...

6. That's right. They must be in there somewhere...
All it is is a series of tubes. How hard could it be to find a few emails?

13. Ted's new thought is that hey, maybe every single person could have
his or her own internet -- at HOME!

In their own house!

18. You're crazy...
how am I supposed to fit my own internet, which many have gone on record to describe as a "big truck", into my home? I don't think I have the square footage for that.

21. LOL! You could add a room in the back. Someone in Rove's office could
get you a no-bid contract for that with Halliburton.

5. Perhaps Ted can
send an army of hamsters into the tubes to root out the missing emails. THough I suspect he already sent in an army of mice to shred them.

38. I now think I have a good mental image of how the internets work now.
It's just one interconnected Habitrail and you can roll that little hamster ball from site to site. I'm glad that's cleared up for me now. :rofl:

by a troll.

Wait. That's not a troll. That's Karen Hughes!

20. True, but he's directed his staff to the next level: Cyber-Pork.
He's an adept at 'the internets' and is even ordering computers for his office in Washington, I heard.

That Ted. Always at the cusp of a new revolution!

40. Sounds good to me. Let's draft the articles and get Dubya
impeached by Tuesday noon, at the latest.

And let's add Uncle Dick to the articles as well.

President Pelosi by noon Tuesday.

24. Karl Rove's internets must have gotten clogged up
See, he sent them Friday and they haven't gotten here yet. It's because of all of the things going on the internet commercially, those kids downloading movies and such. Now see you can't just dump stuff on the internet like all these movies, cause it's not a big truck. If it was a big truck then you'd just go into the pile and find Rove's internets. The internets are all clogged up in the series of tubes and can't be found, obviously.

Edited on Fri Apr-13-07 01:46 PM by JNelson6563
the internet tubes. Don't you know anything? ;-)

But seriously, this oughta be good! Lots and lots of material for the Daily Show. Maybe Colbert could have Stevens on as a guest? Ah, the possibilities for comedy are endless!

39. Ted Quotes
Ten movies streaming across that, 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, I 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 big 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 it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.

44. So the problem is that the Internets is (are?) constipated?
Okay 86 the Hamsters and Gerbils (and snakes! why'd it have to be snakes?) -- now we need some electronic Metamucil.
