Comments on: This oughta get the youth vote out in droves. http://www.thingsyoungerthanmccain.com/this-oughta-get-the-youth-vote-out-in-droves/ 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.

ROFL McCain's dumb game -- he's computer illiterate, so it probably wasn't his idea. Apparently even his campaign people are out of touch. :( “Yes Wii can.” ROFL

McCain’s dumb game — he’s computer illiterate, so it probably wasn’t his idea. Apparently even his campaign people are out of touch. :(

HA HA HA HA HA - that was a good one! Come on now, I think the "Captain McCain secret decoder ring" will be a big hit - "Hey, fellas and girls, send in three box tops from Kelloggs "Pep!" cereal, and you can have your very own decoder ring!" I love the way the McCain camp wants your zip code (read: voting district) when you sign up to "Be the first to know." Is that where we get the flip-flop alerts? Of course, McCain's supporters might be right - maybe he didn't flip-flop, perhaps he just forgot where he stood. "Comedy writers for McCain! Not since Gerald Ford or Dan Quyale has there been such potential for comedy GOLD!" “Yes Wii Can?”

Or maybe it should say "Hey Scooter! This game is the cat's pajamas!" Incidentally, it would kick ass if Barack came out with a Wii game. In light of all the rockers who have thrown their support behind him... how about "Barack Band"?

Apparently *all* electronic games are younger than John McCain: <blockquote> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_video_game" rel="nofollow">The earliest known interactive electronic game was created by Thomas T. Goldsmith Jr. and Estle Ray Mann on a cathode ray tube[3] in 1947</a>. The game was a missile simulator inspired by radar displays from World War II. It used analog circuitry, not digital, to control the CRT beam and position a dot on the screen. Screen overlays were used for targets since graphics could not be drawn at the time. </blockquote> Heh. Apparently *all* electronic games are younger than John McCain:

Anyone younger than Space Invaders is TOO YOUNG to be president, BY LAW! How stupid! If there were only 3 years difference between the candidates, one could find things that were invented during that 3-year period. Youth is NOT necessarily an advantage. Our current president was too young to do a good job. Hmm, right about the same age as Obama. Oh wait! Anyone younger than Space Invaders is TOO YOUNG to be president, BY LAW! How stupid!
