+* Poor Ted Stevens should really think about retiring. The infamous senator-that-thinks-the-internet-is-a-series-of-tubes is now, according to Computer World, [calling on Congress][1] to "ban access to Wikipedia, MySpace, and social networking sites from schools and libraries." The things is that's not quite true, Stevens is supporting a bill whose wording is so poor that it could end up banning Wikipedia, but it doesn't directly go after Wikipedia. However, you can expect every headline on this story to be something along the lines of "Stevens to Ban Wikipedia," since most of the press doesn't really understand the internet any better than Stevens.
