[The Ghost of RubangB]

Topic #2:

Oh it's not just the fingers thing, it's that McCain is like... allergic to technology. He's afraid of it or something. One the one hand, he says his wife is teaching him how to use e-mail, but he also believes his wife is addicted to gadgets. Then there are people in his campaign who claim he invented the BlackBerry, even though it was invented in Canada.

I'm sure he has an assistant who could install some voice-activated typing software for him and arrange a simple way to turn it on and off that wouldn't hurt. You're telling me Stephen Hawking can write books without moving his body and a potential president can't use e-mail because he has injured fingers?

Also, there's a great soundbyte (available on the YubeTube) of McCain saying that when it comes to picking a V.P., it's "basically a Google." So it's nice to know he uses the indefinite article A, meaning there are multiple Googles out there. This is of course in contrast with the Bush policy of calling it "The Googles," which makes me think of a royal family or a sitcom.
