If the Blackberry is a miracle...

Today, one of John McCain's policy advisers held up a BlackBerry and proclaimed "Behold the miracle delivered unto us by the chosen one, McCain." That's a paraphrase, but he did refer to his BlackBerry as a "miracle", (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/16/mccain-helped-invent-the_n_126785.html)which is frickin' hilarious.

First, BlackBerry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackBerry) is made by a Canadian company (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_In_Motion), so kudos to John McCain for helping to outsource our mobile technology.

Second, if the BlackBerry is a miracle, what does that make the iPhone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone)? Multi-touch alone would make it a "premium" miracle or miracle "plus".

Third, how noble of McCain to help create a miracle and not enjoy its wonder. It's like when Jesus turned water into wine and chose not to get wasted. Except that turning water into wine is an actual miracle and choosing not to get drunk is smart while not learning how to send email is intentional ignorance.

But the funniest aspect, I think, is the response from the Obama camp:

["If John McCain hadn't said that 'the fundamentals of our economy are strong' on the day of one of our nation's worst financial crises, the claim that he invented the BlackBerry would have been the most preposterous thing said all week."] (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/16/mccain-helped-invent-the_n_126785.html)

Oh snap!
