By law, many Federal employees are younger than John McCain.

According to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, Title 29 of U.S.C. Section 633a states that agencies are (permitted) “to establish a maximum age requirement only in instances where they have proven to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that age is a bona fide occupational qualification necessary for the performance of the duties of a particular position.”
Um, OK - I can think of such a position.



Oh SNAP! They’re all good, but this may be the one that gives me the most warm & fuzzies.
Take that all you crybabies whining about “ageism.” And lighten up, while you’re at it. Or, better yet, cry about something worthwhile. Like maybe how your president (I’m assuming you’re republican) has f*&$ed America (and pretty much the rest of the world) right in the ass.
