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

OK, thanks - just checking

This is a message from “Focus on the Family”.

And it looks like they even borrowed some art from this site.

(Thanks to Mary for the tip!)

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

McCain says that his age is an issue

So pathetic. As if McCain wouldn’t spend a little more time in a Vietnamese prison camp in exchange for a FRACTION of the crowds and attention that Obama is deservedly getting.

But a question: am I wrong for posting these ads? In an attempt to point out how desperate he is and the negative tone his campaign has, am I giving him too much free press and making these spots rank too high in search engines?

(By the way, I love how the ad features Paris Hilton.)

But I support Moveon.org and the work that they do so I’m helping to spread the word.

So much so, in fact, that they’re using 8 year old footage in their coverage. I guess new video of McCain is hard to find???

Feel free to forward this video to the last person on the planet who actually believes that Fox isn’t biased.

This nine and a half minute video, taken from jedreport.com, is truly staggering. It shows McCain’s long record of passionate support for both President Bush and the Iraq war - despite his recent claims of being its “greatest critic” - and it shows how deeply committed he is to maintaining the status quo regardless of the will of America or Iraq.

Please watch… and forward like crazy.

Think about the field day Fox “News” would have if Obama made this mistake… it would feed right into the misinformation campaign they’ve got going and they would run this clip constantly.

Please share.

Frozen Waffles are younger than John McCain.

I came across the above image when doing a search for “frozen waffles” (which were first introduced in grocery stores in 1953) and, even though the ad shown isn’t for waffles - and “Aunt Jemima” is sadly older than John McCain - I’m posting it because I think it’s inspiring that the same country that can produce something as offensive (by modern day standards) as this is actually a hare’s breath away from electing an African-American president.

Anyway, where was I? Oh right, waffles. Waffling. Changing one’s position.

Take it away, YouTube…. (By the way, did you know that it’s Barack Obama’s fault that gas is $4.50 a gallon? Neither did I.)

Now…

and then…

We have got to keep holding this guy’s feet to the fire. Spread the word. And pass the syrup.
