Things younger than Republican Presidential candidate (oh, and did I forget to mention war hero?) John McCain

I seem to be getting a lot of first time visitors to the site lately… and a lot of them hit the wall around page 3. So I thought I’d make it a little easier for people to find the older stuff by putting together a very unscientific list of the top posts (based on page views, number of comments, ones that I think really help make my case, and ones that I just thought were funny)… and here they are:

Assorted Diatribes
Ageism
A day in the life of a middle-class Republican

Books
The Grapes of Wrath

Codes
The Zip Code

Discoveries
Oil in the desert
Penicillin

Foods
The York Peppermint Pattie
The Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich
Kraft Macaroni and Cheese
Cheerios

The CIA is younger than John McCain.

Want to have hours - or days - of fun? Read the “Family Jewels”, a 702 page collection of CIA misdeeds that was released last June (as a result of a Freedom of Information Act request filed 15 years earlier).

Some highlights include a document discussing tracking John Lennon on allegations of funding anti-war activists, a request by Watergate burglar and former CIA operative E. Howard Hunt for a lock picker, and the plan to poison the leader of the Congo. (The country. The dance is spelled with an “a”.)

Mensa International is younger than John McCain.

To become a member of Mensa, the international association of smarty-pants’, one must score “at the 98th percentile or higher of a standardized, supervised intelligence test”.

Presumably, people who achieve such a score know how to use a computer.

Or know the difference between Sunni and Shia.

Or have a strong working knowledge of economics.

Tell me again, McCain supporters, how a McCain presidency won’t be like a third term of Bush? I seem to have forgotten.
