I hope John A doesn't mind if I post it here.
It is just sad,,,, just a sad list....It makes you think of that kookie uncle that you used to visit when you were a kid.
Just Sad.
(AP) - Twenty-five things you might not know about John McCain
1. He has a stuffed dancing hamster on display in his Senate office.
2. His wife says her obsession with electronic gadgets and technology is one of his pet peeves.
3. He says his pet peeve is politicians who talk too much. (He admits that he's guilty, too, sometimes.)
4. He's not much of a shopper, but he likes to buy rugs when traveling abroad.
5. His favorite book is "For Whom the Bell Tolls," by Ernest Hemingway.
6. He was addicted to the TV show "24."
7. He carries a lucky penny in his pocket.
8. He played Scrooge in the POWs' staging of "A Christmas Carol" at the Hanoi Hilton.
9. His movie favorites include "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World," "Casablanca," and "Viva Zapata!" He and wife Cindy have seen "Mamma Mia!" twice.
10. He talks to fellow prisoners of war, those with whom he shared a cell in Vietnam, almost daily.
11. He has seven children. The first two he adopted from his first wife's previous marriage, the third was born to him and his first wife, the next three were born to him and his second wife, and the seventh they adopted from Mother Teresa's orphanage in Bangladesh. He has four grandchildren.
12. His wife was in Bangladesh on a charity mission and brought home baby Bridget without checking first with McCain.
13. He describes himself as "a person who is mostly normal."
14. His parents "eloped" and got married at Caesar's Bar in Tijuana, Mexico; McCain's grandfather accompanied them.
15. He's serious about the finer points of barbecuing, and he likes to deep-fry turkeys in peanut oil.
16. He wasn't happy when Hudson, the neighbors' black lab, ate the tenderloin he'd been marinating to grill for dinner at their ranch in Sedona, Ariz.
17. He doesn't like to be alone.
18. At Christmastime, he likes to supervise the lighting of about 1,000 luminaria candles on their property in Sedona with family and friends.
19. Going on vacation with him is anything but relaxing. His children call it "Camp McCain."
20. He's an early-bird, not a night-owl.
21. He doesn't e-mail. He doesn't surf the Web. He likes to read the newspaper in print. He's attached to his cell phone.
22. His office window sill is overrun with stacks of books. He hands books off to friends once he's read them.
23. He's into fruit trees. And birds. He keeps binoculars and bird books at the ready in Sedona. His pet collection: two dogs, two turtles, a cat, a ferret, three parakeets and 13 saltwater fish.
24. His wife is super-rich. They have a prenuptial agreement.
25. He programmed digital remotes at the family's homes in Phoenix and Washington so they can call up DVDs in any room.
SAD...just SAD

1. they can't find enough supporters to fill a larger venue.
2. people get pissed off at the rovian 'vetting' process required to be an audience member, so they leave.
3. he can't be trusted to speak to groups larger than 3,000... because the gathering would probably be covered by the press, and his handlers can't control what he says once he's alone onstage.
4. all of the above.
my ex-brother-in-law used to go to nightclubs and drop one on a crowded dance floor on occasion... someone would step on one... 0 everyone would give everyone else these nasty "you're disgusting!" looks, and the dance floor would clear almost immediately.
although, as a Democrat, I'd only have to listen to one speech before I'd decide it was really rank in that stadium... even without fartbombs, they really have a nasty stench.
McCain already exudes that odor.
still, after a GOP convention... how long will it take to fumagate the hotels?
Anyone?
Did I say that he is really rich and he is giving away money.
Okay, the money is fake.
Okay, the money has Obama's face on it... now we are talking...now we might sell out...
Some guy in Denver is trying to trade ONE OF HIS KIDNEYS for Obama speech tickets on Craigslist.
Obama makes history; McCain just re-lives it everyday.
Impressive. Cheers.
Romney -> stale
Huckabee -> too cheesy
Thompson -> moldy
Paul -> looks "off"
It's leftovers -> It's McCain
.
I guess his handlers thought he was coming across as bitchy, so they decided to make a warm/fuzzy commercial.

no how, no way, no mccain.
Kind of interesting he picked this week to send her there, no way that was coincidence. I haven't heard a WORD about it on the major media (hmm, imagine that).
right next to him. He found someone to operate the
laptop for the tele-prompter, since he's not computer
literate. He'll have his VP Mutt Ram-me, (right now,
an educational guess). And a big Birthday
cake with 72 candles on it ! Wow, they'll have to notify
airplanes to tell them that it's not the airport beacon!
a couple weeks ago. There were several thousand people there and they were nearly all sitting
attentively, looking straight ahead at the stage and not saying a word as McCain spoke.
I swear, you coulda' heard a pin drop.
And after he left the stage, the audience just sat there, motionless,
and so obviously impressed with the magnificent speech that had just left them spellbound.
When I walked out, the audience was still sitting there, in silence.
Wow.
