Dustin Hoffman is younger than John McCain.
On March 6, 1970, five members of the Weather Underground accidentally detonated dynamite at a makeshift bomb factory in the basement of 18 West 11th Street in Greenwich Village. You can spot the building (shown here) from a mile away, as it was rebuilt in a modernist style that differs dramatically from both its original design and the Federalist buildings that surround it.
Dustin Hoffman (aka Ben Braddock, aka Ratzo Rizzo, aka Louis Dega, aka Lenny Bruce, aka Carl Bernstein, aka the guy from Marathon Man) is younger than John McCain by just about a year… and he lived next door.
(You’ll note that I left “Tootsie” out of his list of credits… because that movie was just plain dumb.)

“The Declaration of Independence.
The Constitution.
The Bill of Rights… including the Second Amendment, the right to own
and bear arms.
These are all things Obama is working to change or remove of our liberties.“
So begins a comment that someone posted on one of my videos over at YouTube.
The rest follows after the jump in case anyone wants to weigh in and try to follow this whackjob’s convoluted logic. (more…)

So it turns out that Don Cornelius is in fact younger than John McCain!
My friends, I’m stumped. I don’t even know what to say about this. Maybe I’ll think of something later but, for now, I’ll just wish you all love, peace and sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooul!

Sadly, Don Cornelius missed being younger than John McCain by about a month. Too bad… could’ve made a good post.
Oh well, to paraphrase Don, “you can bet your last money, this election’s gonna be a stone gas, honey.”

Colin Powell is younger than John McCain.
Talk about putting “Country First”!
Despite his 25 year friendship with McCain, despite the fact that they are of the same party and both have strong military careers, despite that he was considered as a possible running mate of McCain’s would he have prevailed in the 2000 primaries, and despite the glowing praise that has been bestowed by each onto the other for years, Colin Powell announced this morning that he endorses - and will cast his vote for - Barack Obama.
In doing so, he questioned McCain’s judgement in the selection of Sarah Palin, acknowledged that McCain “is essentially going to execute the Republican agenda”, charged that the Republican focus on William Ayers and Obama’s religious affiliations were damaging America’s image abroad (as if they could be any more damaged!), and called Rep. Bachmann on her bullshit.
This is unbelievably impressive… and, coupled with the $150 million raised by Obama in September (that’s $3,472.22 a minute - I checked!), it’s also probably the final nail in the McCain/Palin coffin. That being said, and since no one knows how to lose an election like a Democrat, we should all still forward videos, send emails, make calls, and yes, give money.
(And, by the way, God help the first Republican that tries to spin this as “they all help each other out”… ’cause you know that’s coming!)
