John McCain has been trying to become more proficient in the use of the internet ever since it was publicized that he was lacking in his knowledge of basic computer and internet skills.

So, given the list of potential candidates scribbled down on a sheet from a yellow legal pad, he sat alone in his office Thursday evening and decided to try this thing called Google who, Sparky, one of his interns had been showing him earlier in the day.

Senator McCain sat in front of his computer and looked at the screen. A bobble-headed Obama caricature in an arab headdress rode a unicorn across a rainbow while a cartoony, smiling Osama bin Laden sat behind him..."heh-heh-heh!" (Sparky had selected the screensaver for his boss).

"OK, John..how do I get to that Googley thing Sparky was showing me earlier?" he thought to himself. "That was a pretty cool Miley Cyrus video we were looking at..heh-heh-heh..she's a hottie!"

He reached out and grabbed the "mouse gadget" and as soon as he did Obama, Osama and the magic unicorn disappeared and were replaced by his password prompt. "hmmmm..enter password..Oh yeah, Sparky wrote that down for me..here it is!" NukeIran69. "OK, I'll just type this in here, maybe that flashy thing will stop, it's giving me a headache..."

The good Senator typed in his password, hit enter and, lo and behold, there was Google! "Wow, That was easy!"

Now, relying on what he remembered from his internet lesson earlier in the day he found the search bar and started to type..M-I-L-E-Y ... "Wait a minute, John," he thought, "Let me check out some of these potential running mates and see if they have any videos."

He grabbed the yellow sheet of paper with a list of names and scanned the page. Lieberman, Joseph... boring... Romney, Mitt... annoying... Pal..P-A-L..What's this? I can't read this writing... let's see..."

Back up to the Google search bar he went. Backspacing over Miley and, squinting at the sloppy handwriting, McCain began to type P-A-L..."hmmm" A-D-I-N. "OK, now what is this first name? Looks like S-P-H..That makes no sense..must be initials...alright then S-P-H, Enter

"The M109A6 Paladin is a modern self-propelled howitzer in use by the armed forces of the United States. A 'self-propelled howitzer' is essentially a large artillery cannon mounted on an armored vehicle chassis."

"I think we've got our winner here," McCain excitedly thought to himself! "Who can argue when I send in the big guns?"

He circled the name on his list, jotted down a note for Sparky to print up the biography on Paladin and headed out to give his team the decision.

The rest, is history...
