1. Bernie is 72

[Renew Deal]

3. You're right

Miscalculation on the site I got it from. I think they rounded up.

[Historic NY]

2. Women live longer...

its a proven fact.

5. It's a demographic trend

Embedded in it is the fact that men take more physical\health risks and do more physically demanding work.

Ultimately that trend says nothing about the statistical probability for a given individual's longevity. Their family and health history along with current health indicators (age, for example) are more telling.

4. God we're dumb!

The only reason people live longer in this country is that we have developed treatments (not cures) for the inevitable ailments that come with age.

Have politicians become such cults of personality that the prevailing belief is that they will live forever?

6. Three old Snowflakes. Two who are incredibly rich, one not so much.

And the not-so-rich one?

"In his second year at college, Sanders made national news. On a frigid Tuesday afternoon in January, 1962 the 20-year-old from Brooklyn stood on the steps of University of Chicago administration building and railed in the wind against the college’s housing segregation policy. “We feel it is an intolerable situation, when Negro and white students of the university cannot live together in university owned apartments,” the young bespectacled student told the few-dozen classmates gathered there. Then he led them into the building in protest, and camped the night outside the president’s office."

Makes me wonder how anyone could even THINK of supporting the rich ones...

7. LOL

We heard a lot that Hillary is too old until lately. Now I know why we quit hearing about her age.

Just a tad hypocritical.

8. Sanders will be 74 on September 9

I'll be 74 on the 4th, thats how.
