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

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.

It’s as if McCain himself reads this blog and sets me up with the ideal photos.

Caption writing contest, anyone?

(Thanks to Eddo for the heads-up!)

  1. Twenty years ago, before he passed away, my great-great-great-grandson on his deathbed handed me this strange device and told me to get with the f*ing times. All I’ve been able to learn since then is that its made of plastic which is just processed oil. So this device is responsible for the psychological factors raising the price of crude oil and ruining our economy. As president I vow to put the Amish in charge of making the United States oil independent.

  21. My friends, these cell phones emit radiation. I’m prepared to commission a study to see if this here radiation can be used for energy.

    We can appoint CEOs of the well known energy companies to see if there’s some way to drill for radiation or to capture it in the air.

    I’m John McCain and I approve this radiation leakage.
