Things That Are Younger Than John McCain

I keep blocking out the fact that if he gets elected he'd be our oldest president but then things pop up like how Huckabee may be his VP and then it comes roaring back to the front of my mind.

Vatican: It's okay to believe in aliens.

But not a woman's right to decide what to do with her own body, that gay people should have the same rights as straight people, or that condoms help prevent AIDS. ALF, on the other hand? Perfectly acceptable.

Here's a plotbunny for anyone writing Office fanfic (can't you just see Michael and Dwight crashing this thing?):

International forum on rights will visit "real America": Scranton.

It's supposed to contrast other meetings in Rome, Brussels, and Washington, D.C. Yeah, that'll contrast nicely.

Overweight nude sets art world record (NSFW, obviously, unless you work at an art gallery)

That is an amazing amount of money. And I think I really do love that painting, the great lines and the shadows in the flesh.

Well, we don't know for a fact that aliens are sinful yet. Once we meet them and see that they're sinful, then we will not be allowed to believe in them anymore.

tangent!

Only slightly random: it wigs me out that my dad is voting for McCain solely because he's a Vietnam veteran and he thinks the government/country has some sort of latent conspiracy or something to never let a vet of his era be president. *eyeroll* Oy. Vey. Dad, I'd rather there never be a Vietnam vet as prez if it's some one who's not going to stand for the things I believe in and want for the country. And I know he disagrees w/ a LOT of McCain's politics and yet...still voting for him. *FACEPALM*
