That is SO last decade, senator

The McCain campaign sent me a fund-soliciting e-mail pushing "John McCain Mousepads:"

We are asking that you join us today by making a generous contribution
of whatever you canMouse_announcement_large
afford. With your contribution of $75 or more, we
will send you one of the official John McCain 2008 mouse pads below as
a special thank you. If you are not able to give $75 at this time,
please select the additional contribution options below. Thank you for
your support!

My question is, in a time when even the hand-me-down mouses I get to use here at work on my Windows 98 desktop are optical meeses, who on Earth still uses mouse pads.

Some have tried to make an issue of Sen. McCain’s age. This doesn’t help. It’s like he said, "Let’s put out something high-tech, that shows we’re ‘with it,’" but you know how grandpa always embarrasses himself when he does that.

What’s next, Walkmen? How about a $1,000 buggy whip?

Anyway, if you actually do want any McCain stuff, the coffee mug is much more reasonable, at $15.

    Why not do what everyone else did… throw it in the trash and forget about it. No need to get your boxers in a bunch over something as trivial as this.

    Brad,
    Speaking of goofy, how did you let “Hand-me-down-mouses” come out of your keyboard. Even the least tech-savvy among us (that would be me) know it’s “hand-me-down mice!”

    I have an embarrassing confession to make.Although I have an optical mouse,I still use a mouse pad.It’s my low-tech security blanket that I use to hold on to the past.
    BTW,if you have any hand-me-down-meeses,I’d suggest donating them to some of the underfunded libraries in SC.My branch is still using the old fashioned ones.

    It is well documented that disturbing questions remain over the incident at Columbine. It is clear that authorities had prior knowledge of what was going to happen. Observers were in the area hours before the shooting took place. Articles from the Associated Press stated that ballistics from Columbine show that six of the thirteen victims were possibly shot and killed by Jefferson County SWAT.
