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.

Woman’s Day Magazine

Woman’s Day Magazine is younger than John McCain.

Woman’s Day, which was originally an in-store recipe planner, became a full-fledged magazine in the year John McCain was born. It sold for 2ยข and featured articles on crafts, cooking, home decoration, needlework, and more.

I wonder how its founders - along with their current subscriber base of 4,200,000 - feel about this little bit of “straight talk” directed at Cindy McCain by her loving husband:

“At least I don’t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you….”

Well, we all know how it ends. So nice, so Presidential.

  1. Love this blog. I got one for you:

    John McCain’s Father & Grandfather were younger than John “McCane” (when they died at ages 70 & 61.)

    Please God bless the comment author on another post who started using “McCane”… hehehe.

  3. Implementation of Social Security, whose checks John McCain currently recieves. Even though he is still paid as a U.S. Senator, collects a large diasbled veteran pension and married a multi-millionaire.

    Take it away, Wiki:
    “Payroll taxes were first collected in 1937, also the year in which the first benefits were paid, namely the lump-sum death benefit paid to 53,236 beneficiaries.

    The first monthly payment was issued on 31 January 1940 to Ida May Fuller of Brattleboro, Vermont.”

    Just think of the odds of his wife getting a lump-sum death benifit during his term in office.
