It’s not knowing how something works that’s important. It’s being aware of it:
You don’t necessarily have to use a computer to understand, you know, how it shapes the country. … John McCain is aware of the Internet.

But the traditions, man, what about the traditions?

1) Terrorists use the Intertubes.
2) Barack Obama raises money on the Intertubes.
3) Muslim sleeper Barack Obama finances terrorism.
McCain was not sequestered in an Asian prison where his mind was reamed, steamed, and dry-cleaned into the Manchurian Candidate. McCain is not elderly, cancerous, and isolated from the 2008 Depression. A $300 million prize will invent a car battery that mocks thermodynamics: self-charging and with more energy/volume than a tank of gasoline.
Vote for the stupid! How can so many people be wrong?

He’s learned all he needs to know from Ted “Internet Tubes” Stevens.

Uncle Al,
Are you saying that my contest to award a 3 buhzillion dollar prize to the person that can invent a time-travelling omellete maker that runs on farts is a mistake?
Says you. I’ll be eating a 3-egg mushroom ham and cheddar in the court of Louis the 13th by next year, unbeliever. Also, *fart*.

In other news, McCain drops baby.

chiggins, I’ve got a time-travelling Pocket Rotisserie that I’ve invented, but it doesn’t run on farts….yet.
Nevertheless, you might want to warm up the ol’ checkbook, cuz’ I’m coming for you…….
I wouldn’t have thought of the omelette maker until you told me about the prize.

Why do I think of Margaret Fuller’s remark “I accept the Universe”?
(and Thomas Carlyle snarked back “Egad, she’d better…”)

My take on the meme…

“John McCain is aware of the Internet.”
That would be in the same sense that an amoeba is “aware” of light. There is some vague unfocused sensory tingling, but no actual cognition involved.

Is that a real picture of McCain? Scary.
June 24, 2008 at 11:40 am
Nonsense. That is clearly a picture of Popeye’s father, Poopdeck Pappy.

Well, throwing money at a problem is the American way! Besides, it always works, like that 50 million dollar reward for the capture of Osama Bin Laden.
June 25, 2008 at 3:37 am
It just occured to me that if you could capture Bin Laden in a perpetual-motion-powered vehicle, you’d be looking at some real money!

Dear Editors,
Not only am I Aware of All Internet Traditions; also, My Understanding of Economics is Quite Complete.
And as for the Internets Tubes? Connect the dots, my friends. Connect the dots.
