This is today’s Wall Street Journal. Encouraging older Americans to give up memories of how things were and embrace a devil may care attitude.

Or maybe the Devil doesn’t care. Obama sure doesn’t care about outcomes.

Run guns to Mexico? Crack down on American legal gun sales and shield the federal officials from international prosecution.

“This is today’s Wall Street Journal. Encouraging older Americans to give up memories of how things were”

Good luck with that - I don’t know of alot older Americans who aren’t wishing for things they way they were.

He survived Mao’s cultural revolution. Pretty sure this is nothing compared to that.

He’s just happy to help his grandaughter make a few bucks with her online store.

He does have his limits. He refuses to have his neck exposed in pictures and insists that he alone does all the styling. "I have to pick out the combinations," he says insistently. "I have the best sense of what blouse should be paired with what skirt."

Oh good. Wouldn't want you to compromise your dignity.
