No Old Men for This Country!

Enough with the Greatest, the Silent, and the Annoying (aka Boomer) Generations; it's time for younger president! Yes, Omaba is technically a Boomer, but actually more of a "BeXer" -- on the cusp of the Boomer and X Generations.

If elected, John McCain (b. 1908), would be the second oldest president ever elected. Only Orville P. Rudolph (age 102), who was elected in 1912 and died in office after three days, would be older. Gerontologists refer to this age group as "really fucking old."

Polls even show that the Polident Generation won't necessarily rally around this oldster, since they know all too well the difficulties of growing old (and cranky!)

Funny, I thought he was born in 1907. I better re-check my facts!
