Am I being “age-ist”? Maybe. But maybe not. The world is a pretty complicated place right now and I’m thinking that it’s not such a great time to elect our oldest President ever. So sue me.
(I particularly like the part where she can’t name a newspaper that she reads… instead, she claims to read “all of them”. Oh well, I guess this is just another example of that crazy “liberal media” playing “gotcha” journalism and, you know, airing what someone says.)
(I guess that was right around the time she gave up with the whole book-learnin’ thing.)
I’ve said it before - does she really want to be the one having the “let’s look at the age of the running mates” conversation?
Moron.
Saw this over on swiss-miss (a great design blog) just now… interestingly, one full rotation of the clock is equal to the average human lifespan (the clock was slowed down 61320 times to make each minute equal to a year).
So a reader named Denise linked to the blog today and told all about how her cuter-than-words (that part is me talking!) daughter stole the show at their local farmer’s market… rocking her official “I’m 70 Years Younger Than McCain” t-shirt.
It’s a nice story - which you can read about here. (Thanks to Denise for sharing!)
Want a shirt of your very own - with any year of your choosing? Go here… and please remember that I’m selling them at my cost to make it easy to spread the gospel of “McCain is really old.”
Brown v. Board of Education, Loving v. Virginia, Gideon v. Wainwright, Miranda v. Arizona, Dennis v. United States, and Mapp v. Ohio are all younger than John McCain.
Roe v. Wade is an easy one. Has Sarah Palin never heard of Wikipedia? Or been to junior high school?
Tang is younger than John McCain.
William A. Mitchell had a very full life. As a food chemist working for General Foods, he was the key inventor behind Pop Rocks (younger), quick-set Jell-O (way older - but more exciting), Cool Whip (younger), powdered egg whites (grosser), and - of course - Tang.
Is there not one among us that doesn’t owe Mitchell a debt of gratitude? Is that not the most poorly constructed sentence you’ve read today? (Sue me. I, much like Lindsey Graham, am tired.)
(Thanks to Kristin for the tip!)
How is it any different than, you know, airing what someone says?
The Flamingo Hotel in Vegas is younger than John McCain.
While the “El Rancho Vegas” and the “Pair-O-Dice” were the first gambling resorts on or around the Strip, it wasn’t until the development of The Flamingo that the mob came in and things got good. (And they would stay good until 1996, when an otherwise great movie would have every schmoe and his brother running around saying “Vegas, baby, Vegas”.)
In related gambling news, McCain and Team Have Many Ties to Gambling Industry
They both speak “authentic frontier gibberish”. Coincidence? I don’t think so.
If your Jewish grandparents in Florida are younger than John McCain, or even if they’re not, watch this brilliant video from Sarah Silverman.
Assuming that John McDramaQueen wakes up and realizes that the rest of Congress isn’t exactly sitting around saying “Damn! If only JOHN McCAIN - the septuagenarian who barely shows up to vote - was around to help us sort through this mess!”, the book event/debate watching party is going to be on.
