Oh, crap. You’re right, this is the first president who has been younger than me in my lifetime.
I’m gonna be weeping into my pillow all night. Thanks loads, Captain Bringdown.

The same thing happened to me three years ago when the new Episcopal bishop of Kansas was installed. He’s younger than me! The bishop! Bishops are supposed to be old geezers, aren’t they? Well, at least he looks older, since his hair is white and mine isn’t even gray yet.😃
I am so going to hell for this.

I went to school an upperclassman who was a lightweight called “Viggie,” the newly installed archbishop of Detroit.

I posted [this link](http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2008/10/how-could-stanl.html) 5 days [before](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10383076&postcount=877) the election in the ‘McCain Forked?’ thread. WARNING WARNING, NUTJOBORAMA LINK full of lies, half-truths and so much twisting of facts it looked like a deranged pretzel!
Wow. That’s hard to wade through.
I think actually my favorite part is the disclaimer at the top, where the site owner decries the fact that “leftards are saying the Atlas says Obama is Malcolm X’s love child and that’s a lie” because the owner only posted the article, not wrote it, and the THESIS of the article, that Malcolm X is his father and that’s what ties him to all those radical Chicago leftists, is only a small part of the story.
