McCain Picked a Mate; I Wrote a Joke (and other stuff)

Oh ...woo hooo ...phew ...hold on. Let me catch my breath. I wrote a joke. OK. Ready? Get this. Read it. Copy & paste it, and email it to all your friends. I'm a comic genius.

JOKING: Many people are scratching their heads as to why and how McCain picked Alaska Governor, Sarah Palin. Well, his advisers told him to pick someone far removed from D.C.

Get it? Alaska is far? Tell me that wouldn't work on Leno. Well I don't care. I included it in spunkybean's What a Week It's Bean feature.

RUNNING: Running. And, running ...running ...let's get it stawted in herrrr, let's get retawded in herrrr! Remember I mentioned I was doing another Bump n Run? Well, I did it last Saturday after two days of drinking and very little sleep. I got outta the gate strong. Then my energy levels crashed. Then I got lost. Then I did battle with a Man-Bear-Pig (half man, half bear, half pig) and managed to finish in the top 12. Boo yah! Here's an awesome picture of me. Results follow. My wife, my sister, brother, sister-in-law, and my cousin all turned out as well. I'm not one to brag, but I could if I really wanted to. I'm just sayin'. Have a great holiday weekend.
