* Can a President be Too Old, asks the Washington Post.
Answer: Yes, obviously. Like, duh. For God's sake Democrats, pick someone under 60.
* Queerbaiting - exploitation or a sign of progress? asks the BBC.
Answer: Neither: it's a sign of the stupid modern obsessive interest in labelling sexuality as part of identity politics. Go write about something worthwhile.
* I’m an attractive, heterosexual woman who wants no-strings-attached sex. Where do I find non-creeps for that? (From Slate's routinely awful sex and relationship advice column.)
Answer: No where. You've already worked it out, why are you bothering asking?
* Who does homework work for? (A letter to The Atlantic).
Answer: what? Obviously, the person who came up with that headline needed to do more of it. (Homework, of course.)
ahem while he is not a President, Mahathir turns 94 this year and he still seems pretty sharp, could probably run rings around much younger heads of state
ReplyDeleteYes, Jason: I was wondering if I should admit in my post that Mahathir is an extreme exception that disproves my rule. And one who is surely a better leader at 94 than he was the first time around.
ReplyDeleteBut honestly: I still don't think you want the US President, with his or her finger near the nuclear button, to be one with a strong chance of suddenly dying, early dementia, or having a disabling stroke, during a international confrontation.
