I was looking through John McCain's blog for an unnamed research project (no, you can't know about it yet) and came across a moderately funny post.
It's a spin on the Chuck Norris facts thing ("Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Too bad Chuck Norris has never cried. Ever."), but posits John McCain as Norris.
You just have to suspend your disbelief. I'm sure it has nothing to do with Norris' very public support of a certain frontrunner in Iowa.
Some of the McCain facts are pretty funny though, ranging from the political:
North Korea's nuke program began afer Kim Jong-Il bought one of John McCain's toenail clippings on eBay and accidentally dropped it into a nuclear reactor.
To the not-so-subtle:
Chuck Norris is John McCain's decoy.
To the slightly-too-true:
The original pirate flag was a drawing of John McCain's face, but it was so terrifying the crew lept overboard every time it was raised. The skull and crossbones was created as a less frightening alternative.
To the oversexed:
Ninjas wear black so John McCain won't see them.
Women wear pink so he will.
To the religious:
The devil went down to Georgia because John McCain was in Arizona.
To the not very funny, and possibly too serious:
Ken Burns was going to make a film about John McCain's life, but he realized the story was so incredible no one would believe it.
Last week in New Hampshire I got to see McCain's sense of humor up close. This post shows that his campaign is good at capturing every element of it -- what's funny, what's not so funny, what completely misses.
