I just realized I'm older than Kennedy was when he was shot.

I take solace in the fact that I'm still younger than Hillary.

You're also older than Jesus H was when he was crucified.

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

And that's a good thing. I mean for you, not for Kennedy.
Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool.

I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss!

Wait till you're older than a sitting President.

That'll really rattle your slats.

Is that why older people are generally less approving of sitting Presidents?

If you really want to fell old, here's Mhairi Black's maiden speech in the British House of Commons.

She's only 6 years older than my son, who just finished middle-school.
