Well, McCain was trying to give an accurate answer. His wife is rich, I suspect SHE
handles finances in the McCain household.

I think he has a firmer grasp on national issues.

This just in:

Dear Abby,

I am a crack dealer in Beaumont, Texas , who has recently
been diagnosed as a carrier of HIV virus.

My parents live in Fort Worth .

One of my sisters lives in Pflugerville and is married to a
transvestite.

My father and mother have recently been arrested
for growing and selling marijuana.

They are financially dependent on my other two
sisters, who are prostitutes in Dallas .

I have two brothers: one is currently serving a life sentence at
Huntsville for the murder of a teenage boy in 1994.

My other brother is currently in jail awaiting charges
of sexual misconduct with his three children.

I have recently become engaged to marry a former prostitute who lives
in Longview.

She is a part time 'working girl'.

All things considered, my problem is this.

I love my fiancé and look forward to bringing her
into the family.

I certainly want to be totally open and honest with her.

Should I tell her about my cousin who supports Barack Obama for
President?

Signed,
Worried About My Reputation
