WTF MSNBC? WHAT????????!11
They just had a 'title' which read: McCain has held 75 events in almost 90 cities. How do you do that?

2. Starts a speech, falls asleep, aids wheel him onto the plane, wheel him off and...
..wake him up at the next venue where he snorts awake and picks up where he left off.

30. Good point, and a warning to those of us who might be tempted to listen to him while driving.
A warning label will need to be attached to the man:

"Do not attempt to listen to this man's words while driving or operating heavy machinery."

18. Someone help me with the math here. How can you even have 75 events in 90 cities?
I can see 90 events in 75 cities. But the other way around? Does that even make logical sense?

31. as much sense as anything else he does.
Ever wonder why McCain, warts, Alzeheimers and all was the chosen candidate?

Dimmer and more manageable than Bush, a walking sock puppet who has NO cognitive dissonance problems.
oh, yeah, and high probablity of dying so his yet to be chosen VP can take over.

26. I held one event in every city in the world, simultaneously
I called it International Atmosphere Day. It was me and my cat and my sister's boyfriend's kid. We had snacks and everything.

39. I was working for Humble Pie.
We were gonna play a club outside of Orlando, but has Thanksgiving, the day before the gig, off. Iggy and Joan Jett played the night before at the club. On Turkey Day, the club owner laid on a huge dinner for all three bands and crews.

As I said, Mr. James Osterberg(he likes to be called Jimmy) was there and masterfully did the carving. I mean masterfully, too. I expected him to break a bottle and use it to carve, at the very least, but no, he was deft with the carving utensils.

A fine broth of a Michigan lad, if there ever was one. Delightfully without affectation. Sober as a judge.

40. Thanks for the details

In the 70s he was several years ahead of the curve, both musically and as the original 'rock star quits substance abuse' prototype.

36. That counts as a double event,
and will most likely be eventful long after the event.
