When I was young, I use to wander why the old farts didn’t just retire and let us young tigers move up. As I reached middle age, I realized that many of these old farts had much to offer and I should have patients and learn from them, my time would come. As an old fart, I now see the young tigers biting at my tail. LOL
Some of the old farts do need to get off the stage. I can think of several sixties radicals in Washington that would fit that bill. Doesn’t mean just any Xer would do to replace them. Someone like Sarah, certainly. Okay, maybe she falls into Generation Jones, but we can make her an honorary Xer for the good of the country :)
