Slog - Comments on My New Favorite Fad Blog http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/05/my_new_favorite_fad_blog Stuff White People Like is so far beyond played out, it may have a revival soon. But THINGS YOUNGER THAN REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE (OH, AND DID I FORGET TO MENTION “WAR HERO”?) JOHN MCCAIN is still on the way up. Some things younger than John McCain: the polio vaccine, Alaska and Hawaii, the Hindenburg disaster, and Mount Rushmore....

He didn't WANT to be a POW. Hero? He didn't throw himself on a grenade to save his buddies. He was captured and detained.

Anyway.

Look, I may totally disagree with John McCain US Senator and presidential candidate, but let's not swift boat him. He served his country, and I've never seen any reason he doesn't deserve the appelation.

he denounced his country under torture. that's NOT heroism.

dropping bombs on vietnamese villages is also not heroic.

let's save "hero" for people who do shit like see a woman drive off the deception pass bridge, stop their car, run down the cliff, dive into the water, & pull her out of her car. that happened.

Maybe the jokes just seem played-out to me because I've seen so many episodes of The Golden Girls.

The whole punchline of the site seems to be, "GAWD, old people, you sure are old!" Ha, ha.
