Comments on: The Zip Code. http://www.thingsyoungerthanmccain.com/the-zip-code/ 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.

We've been at the 2 letter abbreviations for so long (except for Fla which still pops up way too often --- technologically challenged, are they?). And also right: only big cities like New York and DC had "zones" and even then the numbers were in the middle and not at the end: New York 16, New York. Good catch Hobermallow, and you’re right.

(or whatever state abbreviation they had then for Virginia since they didn't have the 2 digit abbreviations yet.) But I think cities had to be a certain size to even <i>need</i> zones, so probably East Nowhere wouldn't even have one.

Much like people born in British India, in the Dutch East Indies or in French Indochina. In fact most of the world's former colonies are younger than McCain.

Well, he's not older than the oil itself. (Or is he?) Rather, McCain was already a one-year old when they discovered oil in Saudi Arabia for the first time.
