Even when he's dead, Uncle Ted wins:

"Stevens wins; tubes to be unclogged: In the wake of a Washington, D.C. Circuit Court decision striking down the Federal Communication Commission’s net neutrality rules, the late Sen. Ted Stevens’ infamous “series of tubes” remarks about the Internet are being resurrected. Writing in Slate -- and bemoaning that companies, such as Verizon, whose side Stevens took -- net neutrality proponent Michael Socolow recalls how Stevens’ Senate floor speech, from which the meme came, and which was pilloried by Jon Stewart, did a great deal to bring the issue to the public’s attention, even if the attention wasn’t flattering to Stevens at the time. Still, Tuesday’s ruling means that Uncle Ted comes away from this the victor: As the Slate headline proclaims: “Ted Stevens wins: The Internet’s Tube’s Will Be Unclogged.”"
 
I got stuck in my driveway. Shoveled and threw car mats under the tires and finally got out. Now I'm afraid of getting stuck going home. The driveway is all tore up. I even called for another plow. :-/

Mine might be slick, but it won't be bad. Might even be down to pavement in a spot ot two with the rain and the wind.
