    Even though the list makes me cackle, I'm not really comfortable with ageism. Mr Obama gets slagged by his opponents for being too young and inexperienced. Is he? Is McCain too old to be useful? Who gets to decide and on what grounds?

    Not that I'll have anything to say in the elections, being European.

    Read the post carefully again.

    The only one saying John McCain is too old is John McCain.

    What's ironic about his commment about how old he will be in in 2008(ready for "the old soldier's home waiting for the calvary charge") is that John McCain voted AGAINST better funding for veterans hospitals and homes. See the New York York Times. "McCain Apoligizes for Walter Reed at >> "http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/03/06/mccain-apologizes-for-walter-reed/ and see McCain's vote opposing billions going to veterans hospitals at >> http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=109&session=2&vote=00007

    As for the list of things older than John McCain, that's just fact. Who knew peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were so YOUNG and VIBRANT? Ditto for Mount Rushmore, the Zip Code, and Penicillin.

    John McCain: Wants to fund the war, but not the hospitals. Can't remember the difference between Shia and Sunni muslims. We would support that kind of policy even if he were 100!
