Things Younger Than McCain: Well, perhaps the site’s a little tongue-in-cheek (not that that’s a bad thing), but I think the whole thing says at least a few things about this year’s presidential race and American society at large. The most obvious is that our country has changed quite a lot over the past seventy years. The US without zipcodes? Without minimum wage? Without velcro? Without Scrabble? There’s certainly potential about getting silly about this — but the bare truth is that the US seventy years ago was quite a different place.
The next conclusion to draw from this site is that McCain is fairly old. Of course there’s one thing that you couldn’t add to that site: Yasuo Fukuda, who was born a little more than a month before the Senator. Should the fact that the prime minister of the world’s second largest economy is a septuagenarian inspire us across the Pacific to elect one ourselves? I wouldn’t think so… after all, if Fukuda’s abysmal support ratings are anything to go by, it’s unlikely that his administration will be long-lived.
