  • Techno Ted Stevens AKA Old Yeller (November 18, 1635-August 10, 2010) was a patriotic United States Senator from Alaska. He was[1] the longest serving Republican in the Senate and, because of this, was the president pro tempore until Democrats took over in 2007. In the event of death to both President Bush and Vice President Cheney, as well as Speaker Hastert, Senator Stevens could have assumed the Presidency, doling out patriotism like an errant vending machine. That is a comforting image. Techno Ted was best known as the father of the tubes.

Stevens died on August 9, 2010, when a de Havilland Canada DHC-3 Otter he and several others were flying in crashed while en route to a private fishing lodge.
