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.

The Six-Pack.

The six-pack is younger than John McCain.

Oddly, it took until sometime in the early-40’s for someone to come up with the brilliant idea of packaging drinks (”Dad’s Root Beer”, to be precise) six at a time. (The concern about the whole fish-killing thing, although widely overblown, didn’t kick in until the 1970’s.)

So, in other words, what we’re saying here is that John McCain is older than what amounts to little more than a system of counting. Fantastic.

(Thanks to Jimmy for the tip!)

  4. I added this blog to my stumble list; love it!

    Of the many blogs I have, the only one that gets ‘feisty’ or in any way brings out the conflicting opinions is on http://thigsbearalbum.blogspot.com I started out wanting to only talk ‘happy stuff’, but after all that’s been going on since February of this year, I needed one blog where I could ’spit it out’.

    Anyway, I’ll be coming back to read more. Diane

  10. This is great. This is the first website that I went to that is really fantastic. I love the FOX news clip. Gosh I hate Fox news. They are an abomination to news reporters. Keep up the good work!

  11. McCain would not be the oldest President ever in office. Reagan was 78 when he left office in ‘88.

    Also, McCain didn’t lie in your first video clip, he said “he didn’t understand Wallstreet”. Robin Roberts replaced “Wallstreet” with “economy” and he rightfully said that he did not say that. WHich was 100% true.

    Just a bunch of haters on this site.

  12. I’m sorry that you are so narrow minded and prejudice against those who believe differently than you. Do you feel that those who do not agree with you should leave this country? Or maybe that they should not participate in the political process until they are more educated? BTW, its interesting that you would publish the price of things when McCain was a child. It demonstrates how the failed economic policies of the politicians you support have led the country into the current economic hardships. It also shows how the positive economics that have managed to survive have been due to the policies of the politicians you oppose.
