Yup, Alaska Senator Ted Stevens (R) has got him some good connections in the construction industry. In fact, even the FBI is interested the remodeling job on his home in Alaska.

This isn't the first time Ted's been in the news. His notions about the internet have their own wikipedia page:
"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."
Above, Senator Stevens and his wife in what you might call happier times. That would be the May, 2007, White Haus dinner honoring the senator's achievements, many of which are best described as "dubious."
