I know it's not your point, but I must say that's a phrase you never used to see when the subject was also a man.

An old, desperate f@g with access to money to buy off a younger man.

That’s the oldest love story in the book, isn’t it? ;)

they were horrible. I tried to join this thing and they didn't have a clue to what they were suppose to be or do.

Art Linkletter was the spokesperson and perhaps was more involved than that.

It’s just a mix-up on the acronyms. This is AARQ. He just took the money out of the wrong budget. No problem. The accounting department can straighten it out.

We’re seeing a lot of corruption in the Democrat endorsed organizations such as the AARP. I thought I could use the AARP once I got past 50 but it seems they are just an arm of the DNC.
