For the past few days, Éiden has been walking around the house saying, "I'm John McCain, and I approve this message."

Dude, when Nixon won re-election in '72, I thought George Washington had been re-elected, and I was elated about it, all day.

I was horrified and thought the Devil Himself was going to take over my house and neighborhood.

I really thought maybe he was spying on me.

Oh yeah, we moved to Santa Cruz like a year or so later, and I ended up getting an ear and eyeful of Watergate, after that. That's the first time I remember wondering what the hell was wrong with my parents, in second grade.

I was 2 in 1972. But my family had ties to Nixon (my great-aunt is/was Rosemary Woods), and my dad liked to use him as a bogeyman.

Yeah, I remember the Rosemary Woods thing about you, which is always awesome.

I was five in 1972. I still feel like I should have known better.

I don't think he necessarily likes McCain (though his brother yells at him for it because he doesn't like McCain), I just think he finds it funny.

I, like Haddayr, was only two when Nixon won and can't remember a thing about him or politics at the time. I was sad in 76, though, when Ford lost to Carter because I thought Ford was funny whenever he fell down or stumbled and I wanted a funny president.
