Update- Word has just reached the mainstream media that John McCain has a powerful new backer who promises to help the beleaguered candidate reach out to angered conservatives. His new Ally is Caesar Joe, the Roman emperor of Mars, whose ancestors traveled through space on wooden sailing ships fifteen hundred years ago.
This endorsement is expected to help McCain among conservatives because of the traditional values of the Republican base. The ancient Romans are about as traditional as it gets. “We support the old-fashioned ways,” Caesar Joe was quoted as saying: “including flogging, crucifixion, and things I’ve been told not to mention in public.” He went on to say that If John McCain were elected president, he hoped that these (crufixion and flogging) would replace waterboarding as “primary options” in coaxing terrorists to talk.

Why doesn’t McCain come out and say that he wants to continue funding NASAs development of its Mars program?
Where can I get one of those wooden ships?
