Here's another winner for Dems, the net neutrality amendment that has failed in committee but might be the source of a filibuster.

I haven't blogged about net neutrality yet because I just couldn't believe that even our stupid congress could possibly allow a tiered internet. However, I underestimated Ted Stevens. The full account of the world's biggest fan of pork having one of his classic flip-outs is here.

Stevens is nuts. Also tainted are McCain and Allen.

Anyway, Democrats are unabashedly on the right side of this issue, although I'm sure Lieberman, whore that he is, might find a way to sell us all out. But anyone who actually learns anything about the issue sees that the telecom bill without a net neutrality amendment would be a disaster, and it's the right wing Republicans who are trying to sell us down the river in a disgusting payout to the telecom companies. Sounds like this bill is going to hit the floor with a bang, and might force Democrats to join together to block cloture.

It would be fun though, from a purely Give Up point of view, if the Republicans accidentally blew up the internet through their stupidity. That might be an unforgiveable sin, but I'd prefer to keep das interweb in its current state.
