Blinding You With Science

Scientific Analysis Chooses Best President
The smart voter realizes that no matter who the next president is, he'll  be a disaster for the United States.  So, who to vote for?  The answer is -- that person with the best chance of dying. 

The SHLONG INSTITUTE, in cooperation with the world renowned expert on age forensics, Dr. Thomas Paine, undertook just such an analysis.  Here are the results.

McCain
Obama
Years of life expectancy
86
74
Current Age
72
47
Years left to live
14
27


As expected, John McCain has the best chance of retiring early, but we took it further.  We asked both candidates to allow their wives to answer this question.

Estimate how many Americans  will want to kill your husband if he's elected?
Cindy McCain
 (underline 1)
 
Michelle Obama (underline 1)
Based on her expectations, our actuaries reduced Obama's Life Expectancy by 50%, or  13.5 years 

McCain
Obama
Current Age
72
47
Years left to live
14
14½


(by a nose)

Finally, we took into account an important health element that was neglected by Dr. Paine.  When asked whether they had ever had melanoma, one of the deadliest cancers, only McCain answered in the affirmative.  That resulted in an actuarial reduction of McCain's LE by 75%. or 10½ years.

McCain
Obama
Current Age
72
47
Years left to live
14½



  So it is that  we endorse JOHN McCAIN for President!

yep, all we need now is a conservative in the veep slot, and I'll go with this scenario.

You're late to the game, Democratic women have been making these calculations for at least a week now.

Of course, who could really make a decision like this without knowing WHO THE VEEP IS? Oi....that adds a degree of freedom, doesn't it. I've done some calculating myself, and my math shows that there is a 4.28% chance McCain decides that it would be really "maverick" cool to ask Hillary to be his veep. You heard it C&S first!

It doesn't matter who the VP is. They could not possibly be worse than the President.
