OK. I am not here to defend McCain, but will somebody please tell me what the big deal is about his age? Age is a relative thing. We all know people in their 70's and even 80's who have the brainpower to do just fine at whatever they choose to do.

I am weary of this whole age issue.

And of all the demographics, ours should not be harping away on the age thing.

Sometimes I get a little hinky, what with the unfunded liability of the boomers slouching toward Medicare and all. Don't want to hear about a bill called "Operation Ice Floes" making its way through Congress.

The last time I saw McCain on television, he looked cognizant and continent enough.

I am just waiting for him to start talking to me about healthcare and about the economy and about a bunch of other stuff. I'm looking for a man with a plan. Don't tell me how great it's gonna be, honey. Tell me how you're gonna do it.

Oh, and I am waiting to see who gets McCain's VP nod. That is huge with me. I sure hope he does not pander to the far, far right to bring in a block of kneejerk voters. I would be extremely uncomfortable with that kind of focus from a VP. No matter how old the president might be.

And I don't want to hear about anybody's sex life. Not McCain's. Did not want to hear about Bill's. And I sure don't want the sex lives of any consenting adults to become a political platform in this, or any election.

It's time to get real. Talk to me about the future of the American people. Talk to me in specifics.

Talk to me, Johnny, or I am breaking up with the Republicans for sure.

Got me no source to cite. Got me nuthin' to cut and paste. I am just. . .
