A person gets on
in age, starts yelling things like "What does a
Southerner know about Chard?" It comes to all of
us eventually, a desperate attempt to straighten the
circle. "When I was your age I walked an hour to work!"
It was five miles, give or take. So no wonder some of us
have less sympathy for the current crop. Mind you I
totally understand what it's like to be on the receiving
end of a similar sense of disappointment from the
gerontocracy.

The
average age of US Senators is 61. There are 100 of them. 27
of them are over 70 years old. 8 of them are over 80 years
old. Just 13 of them are under 50 years old. But in the end
I'd like to mention a senator called Orin Hatch. He's 83
years old, he's been a senator for over 40 years, he's from
Utah and he has seven children. His net worth is something
like 5 million dollars. The 43 year old Junior Senator from
Utah, a rosy cheeked young male called Mike Lee, has a net
worth of 16 thousand dollars. Give him time, I guess.
