OUR AGEOLOGY FAUXLOSOPHY

We Americans are living longer (thankfully) and as a group better. But anyone who thinks that 60 is the new 40 may have either wished too well or actually need a wishing well. These ages are simply different but the proactive medicine available from our physicians and good personal habits have certainly and happily mitigated the traditional aging process.

That allowed, what accelerates ones growing old can morph into growing much older due to a number of factors, particularly stress. In that context we must consider the health and age of candidates for our highest, most challenging and yes, most stressful of political offices. Despite that however, we at the Faux don't hold Mr. McCain's chronological age against him so much as we disapprove of the rapid aging of his ideas to which he so stubbornly clings. In medical research they have what is called a control group, and for Mr. McCain's ideas on the economy et al. we actually have one, its called the United States of America in the last seven and a half years. This patient needs healing.
