"If anything, John wants to get away from the disgrace that is Social Security and all the Americans who whining about foreclosures on their homes, gasoline prices, 14% inflation and the destruction of the US economy. John, as he always said, is an expert on the economy and knows that there is nothing wrong with the mortgage industry or general economy. And since the only problems with the US economy are psychological, if elected, John will ask Dr. Phil to become his Chief Economist."
Advisors say McCain is anxious to catch up on events in Czechoslovakia and make sure the Soviets aren't going to reduce “the energy supplies to Czechoslovakia.”

"Then it's on to meet with Vladimir Putin the President of Germany, although we are not sure if he is President of East Germany or West Germany so we'll visit both as long as we can get passed the Berlin Wall. John recently pondered 'When will Gorbachev tear down that wall?'"

McCain announced last week that there is "good news, I think that there is a glimmer of improving relationship between Karzai and the Pakistanis."
