In what appears to be an April Fool's Day prank, burningman.com has announced John McCain will be campaigning at the event this summer. True or not? Decide for yourself, but remember... it's April Fool's Day.

Senator and presumptive Republican Presidential nominee John McCain has rocked the political world by announcing his intention to bring his campaign to Nevada's Black Rock Desert this summer, during the counter-cultural art event known as Burning Man.

"While our opponents would callously ignore them, this proud American believes that even temporary cities deserve the attention of the President of the United States," said McCain senior staffer Mark Dosenberner. "We are proud that Black Rock City will be a stop on the 'Straight Talk Express' tour this summer."

My young friends, Rockin" Johnny McCain here to tell you that I am going to the Burning Man. A friend of mine, Lloyd Bonifide, of Alhambra, California, a retired heating and plumbing businessman, has volunteered to drive us there in his daughter"s Winnebago. It"ll just be me, him, and someone Lloyd says is "Peyote Buttons". Must be an old vaudevillian. Anyway, I think it's important to show you that I'm still a young hep-cat myself. Lloyd is brining hiskaraoke machine so he and I can put on a show. I"m calling it "Get-out-the-vote with Rockin" McCain". We're gonna sing "Blue Suede Shoes" for 24 hours straight. It should quite a crowd, and at the end, I"ll ask you to all vote for me, "Rockin Johnny McCain!" You then have permission to applaud " no applauding will be allowed while we are singing, remember that or I"ll have to get in your face. And you don"t want me in your face, my young friends - I just may instinctively snap your neck. Nothing personal, it"s just how I roll, so listen attentively, then show your appreciation at the conclusion of our performance. There'll be free NyQuil shooters, but strict rationing will be observed " only one per customer. Also in the spirit of the Burning Man, Lloyd and I will be wearing nothing but a hell of a lot of sunscreen. Hope you all can make it " be there or be square, my young friends!

"said McCain senior staffer Mark Dosenberner"

DOSENBERNER...

DOSING BURNER... i.e. a Burning Man attendee who takes a dose of acid.

Get it?

Dear McCain Advance Team:

FYI: Don't bother with flyers or pamphlets.

No one has any pockets or any place to put them.

Bring PLENTY of water.

Bring your own shade.

And some blinders - your EastCoast eyes may not know what to do with what they behold.

Oh, and sturdy shoes too.

Welcome to the Wild, Wild West....

Who needs a plan when you've got a slogan? That's pretty much how the current administration has governed for the last 7 years.

Yes, McCain is a pathetic joke and , just as in Iraq, there will have to be 'green zone' at burning man, so as to protect the old geezer from reality.

For all you bible thumpers: By the way, does McCain have a biblical referent? McCain, does it mean son of Cain.

Sure, that will happen after he comes down from the 4th of july rainbow gathering where he will eat 'shrooms and dance naked before leading the chant at noon.
