Not a Big Truck

“It’s not a big truck. It’s a series of tubes.” — Ted Stevens

It’s a federal pound-me-in-the-ass penitentiary

Since our blog’s title was inspired by Alaska  Senator Ted Stevens, I thought it appropriate to note his conviction today on seven felony charges of concealing a quarter-million dollars in gifts.

My favorite quote from the trial:

“We have lots of things in our house that don’t belong to us,” Stevens said when a prosecutor asked him about the [$2,700 massage] chair.

Farewell, Senator.

Things have to be looking up for Stevens’s opponent in next week’s election, Mark Begich.
