The Top Ten Things Really, Really, Really Helpful to John McCain's Campaign

Since the McCain folks have had to walk away from from a terror attack being (with a hat tip to Idiotic) EXCELLENT NEWS FOR JOHN McCAIN!!! wouldn't it be helpful to give them a few more ideas to promote as good for McCain. Here are a few that come to mind:

10. Grape-Nuts cereal gets really popular again, along with Postum, stewed prunes and Geritol for your iron-poor blood.

9 The Green Lantern and the Shadow radio serials are revived and McCain can use them in the hunt for Osama Bin Laden.

8. Americans decide they've had enough of these new-fangled horseless carriages and go back to the horse drawn kind. Steam engines make a huge comeback.

7. The Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Alito and Scalia, declare "activist" judges were responsible for ending slavery and giving the black man and later women the right to vote. By a narrow and contentious 5-4 decision, the affected amendments are declared unconstitutional. They also declare the Presidency should go to the "oldest white man still in the race." 

6. Dick Cheney resigns, Bush appoints McCain. Bush resigns, McCain is elevated and then runs as the "incumbent" President. On the upside he gets to be President. On the down side, he still loses.

5. Gennifer Flowers announces she did not have an affair with McCain. Ever.

4. Bobby Ewing wakes up and learns McCain's candidacy was just a really bad dream. Unfortunately, we still don't believe Kristen shot JR.

3.  Cindy McCain wins the Pillsbury Bake-Off with her "Have Cook Open a Can of Hungry Man Biscuits."

2. He chooses Larry "I've Got a Wide Stance" Craig as his communications director. New hand and foot signals are implemented. Foot tapping is now in vogue.  

And the number one thing really, really, really helpful to John McCain's campaign is...... (drumroll)(rimshot)(cymbals)(horn flourish)... in a novel move, he selects both Lindsay "I'm your captain" Graham and Joe "little buddy" Lieberman as co-veeps.

11. President Bush orders bombardment of Iran's nuclear facilities, resulting in cutoff of Iran's oil and price surge on world markets to $240/barrel or $12/gallon at the pump, creating "black gold rush" as hardy Americans purchase Craftsmen 1/4" cordless drills and long bits, fleeing on foot to Alaska to open ANWAR on the cheap and plant winter wheat in melted permafrost.

Sadly, too many "US Americans and such as" who do not have maps nor a complete understanding of "drilling for Alaskan oil", decide to use their Craftsmans to drill into the Alaska pipeline and fill their BYOB (bring your own barrels) to the rim.

Cindy McCain wins the Pillsbury Bake-Off with her "Have Cook Open a Can of Hungry Man Biscuits."

no, Jade7243. She loses the bakeoff. Very helpful to McCain's campaign. Shows her consistency about her or any of her surrogates abilities in the kitchen.

Ahhhh, the consistency factor... no flip-flops.

Cindy issues fashion edict -- no flip-flops, no Crocs, no jellies...

Yep. If she's consistent [and we know she's foolish, she married McCain], then it follows that she's got the hobgoblin of little minds.

That means there's hobgoblin living inside her haid.

I'm all for visualizing that.

I like your new avatar image, btw.

Thanks...

ooow hobgoblins.... that's got to hurt...

You forgot to add -- he needs to hire Dorian Gray's portrait painter -- quick!

If Graham is the Captain (Skipper), and Lieberman is the "Little Buddy" (Gilligan), does that mean John and Cindy McCain are the Howells? Karl Rove the Professor? E. D. Hill as Ginger and Sarah Palin as Maryann?

Nah - Anne Coulter as Ginger. Yummy!

ew, billy has a crush on anne coulter!

oops, looks like it's a spoofer..

Number 8 is more likely than you think, with gas so bloody expensive.

I heard from the local NPR affiliate that it's still legal for ordinary citizens to commute on city streets by horseback in Los Angeles. Riders follow the same laws as bicyclists, I understand.

I also know I've seen horse drawn carriages on city streets in wedding motorcades..

You don't mean SheMale Ann. Nah, Laura Ingraham would be the choice.

FEC will be up and running! 7:30PM just watching CSPAN2 and no objections to any nominations. All nominations confirmed. McCain is NOT helped by this. I could hardly believe my ears!

sweeet. please remind me that hans vote suppressky withdrew from his nomination for a position.

The five nominees include Republicans Matthew S. Petersen, the most recent addition to the group, Caroline C. Hunter of Florida and Donald F. McGahn of the District of Columbia, and Democrats Cynthia L. Bauerly of Minnesota and Steven T. Walther of Nevada. Walther has ties to Reid. The chase is on.

Green Lantern was never a radio series. He was a comic book hero.

You are probably thinking of the Green Hornet. Y'know, "Flight of the Bumblebee", Kato, grand-nephew of the Lone Ranger.
