John McCain, Sayin' What Ain't So

By Sniffles

"No one will delay the World Series game with an infomercial when I'm President," the Republican nominee said yesterday.

Well, guess what. No one's doing that now.

A Fox Broadcasting executive has denied that Senator Obama's half-hour message to the nation will interfere with tonight's possibly deciding championship game.

"Our first pitch for the World Series is usually around 8:30 anyway — so we didn't push back the game, it was really just about suspending the pre-game [show]," Fox's Joe Coppola said.

But you know what? What if it did?

In other words, it's dawned on us cats that Senator McCain thinks baseball is more important than the following facts:

• Millions of people have lost their jobs and are losing their homes.
• Every American family with any retirement savings has seen those savings decline by at least 40 percent.
• We haven't gotten bin Laden after seven years.
• We're spending billions a month in Iraq.
  
• We're bogged down in Afghanistan with things slipping away.
• The whole world hates us.
• The United States is held hostage to imported oil.
• Our infrastructure is falling into the Mississippi River.
• Our budget is entirely out of whack.

We could go on, but you get the idea.

No, we cats love baseball, but we find Senator McCain's implication offensive. Because what he's really saying is that he knows best — so, you just sit in front of the T.V., mindlessly watching the rain in Philadelphia and drinking Cindy's beers, and don't trouble your tiny little brain about any of these problems.

Thank you very much. You betcha.
