Senator Ted Stevens, here seen warding off the web and its cadre of ’spiders’.

Ted Stevens, when not contemplating how the Internet is a series of tubes, is busy coming up with helpful, well-thought out legislation. Case in point? He’s newly introduced Senate bill 49 which would require any school that receives federal money to block access to ‘interactive’ web sites. Given that that we live in the age of the ‘read/write’ web the vaguely worded legislation would apparently ban students from the web itself… or at least that wily misbegotten haven for ill repute, Wikipedia (Preston Gralla, speaking on Computer World):

There are so many things wrong with this bill, it’s hard to count them all. But its greatest irony would be banning Wikipedia — perhaps the most widely used reference resource in the world — from libraries and schools. I have plenty of problems with Wikipedia, including how easily it can be manipulated, and the way that student rely on it far too heavily. But ban an educational resource merely because it’s interactive? If true, it’s bizarre beyond comprehension.

I’ll admit, I didn’t jump on the ‘Internet is Made of Tubes’ T-shirt bandwagon the first go around because I thought Stevens would quickly move back to his first love, bridges to nowhere. I was wrong. We need a Militant Geek anti-Steven shirt stat! Any ideas?
