Remember being a kid and reading Judith Viorst’s book Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day? Well, I’m sure the title gives it away but it is about Alexander and his bad day. After just glancing at the headlines, I think I have the title of a similar project. Here is a little piece I just wrote called:
John McCain and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week

John McCain and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week
by Jason Rae
There once was a man running for President named John McCain. With his name came a lot of fame. Everyone thought that he was the man to beat. Well surely, that would be a difficult feat.
Until one week, one very bad week, when everything just seemed to go wrong. His campaign just seemed to have gone on too long. And then, John McCain had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week. A terrible horrible, no good, very bad week.
To start, the money he raised just wasn’t too great. I think that started to seal his fate. He had to say goodbye to some of his staff. First was the campaign manager and a deputy too. And then to a whole bunch, he had to say shoe.
Next up was raising some money in a not so good place. (You sure need a lot of money to compete in the race.) The law says no to campaigning in the Capitol, you see. Was he not one of the authors of that decree?
Before too long, one more problem appeared: because of his Florida co-chairman of Florida , his name was now smeared.
And these are all the mistakes we know of right now; I think it is enough to signal a farewell bow. Time to wave goodbye to all the fans, pack up the campaign supplies and head out in the vans.
It was fun well it lasted, to say the least. McCain’s campaign is now simply deceased. The outlook for his winning the White House now is fairly bleak. This is all because of John McCain and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week.
