John McCain and the Internets

(via The Talent Show)

John McCain admits that he’s computer illiterate.

‘The Google’

“You don’t actually have to use a computer to understand how it shapes the country,” he says.

“You actually do,” former Edwards blogger Tracy Russo responds, suggesting he try to explain Twitter to his grandmother and then ask her how that applies to governing.

“John McCain is aware of the Internet,” says Soohoo. “This is a man who has a very long history of understanding on a range of issues.”

Who the fcsk is Janice Hopkins?

Dear Friend:

Under new rules passed last year to help ensure the safety of our Nation, travel by air to Canada, Mexico, Bermuda or the Caribbean requires a U.S. Passport. Other forms of identification are no longer accepted. On June 1, 2009, land and sea travel will be added to the passport requirement.

I want to ensure that your travel plans are not affected by a problem with documents. When traveling out of the country, the safest and best document in your possession is your U.S. Passport. Currently, there is a four-to-six week processing period for a passport., slightly less for a passport renewal. Expedited service of three weeks is available at a higher cost.

If you are planning to travel later this summer, I urge you to plan ahead and obtain your Passport or passport card as soon as possible. The following contact information may be of assistance to you:

As always, we are available to assist you if you encounter problems.

Sincerely
Timothy V. Johnson
Congressman (15 – IL)

Mr. Johnson, I’m not Janice Hopkins nor do I live in Illinois’ 15th District.
