McCain VP Pick Is Just a Google Away

According to a Yahoo! news story, the John McCain Presidential Campaign is using the Internet to vet a list of potential GOP Vice Presidential candidates. I’d like to reiterate that it must be the campaign team using the Internet, because we already know here at Absurdities! that McCain is not familiar with computers, let alone the World Wide Web.

This fact is painfully obvious (again) in the interview with McCain about the idea:

“You know, basically it’s a Google,” he said to laughter at a fund-raising luncheon when asked how the selection process was going. “What you can find out now on the Internet — it’s remarkable.”

Yes, it is remarkable what is on the Internet, John McCain. But my question is - have you ever seen what “a Google” looks like? He almost makes it sound as if he is using a four-headed monster to figure out his choice for Vice President.

Google Invents Email Time Machine

We all know that the merry pranksters at Google have more than a few tricks up their sleeves. But, today they unveiled yet another amazing feat for our favorite communication device, Gmail. It can now send email into the past. If you thought you checked your email far too much already - now you can go back in time and send even more. Instead of the idiom - “Here today, gone tomorrow” - it could now be, “Here today, read yesterday.”

Did you forget a birthday of your dead grandma? Did your wife divorce you because you never remembered your wedding anniversary? Did you get an F in Philosophy because you were late in turning in a term paper?

Well, never fear, Google is here. Let the past become undone and all your moments of communication shame evaporate into cyberspace.

Oh and by the way - Happy April Fools Day.
