Giving the Poor, Huddled Masses...Digital TV?

If there is anyone in Congress happier to spend taxpayer's money in pointless ways than Ted Stevens (R-AK), I'm not aware of them. When he's not building bridges to nowhere or threatening to resign if the Senate dares say that there might be more important priorities than said bridge (which, surprisingly, wasn't enough to pass the amendment), he's making sure all Americans are given their fundamental right to digital television.
