Past middle age, NOT young.

Gotta love it when one of your "Young Guns" has a head of grey hair.

Look at Steve Martin; he was fully gray before he turned 30. But yes, fu&k these guys.

Sure, but Steve Martin never advertised himself as a 'Young Gun.' If you're going to sell yourself as young, maybe get some hair dye?

Young compared to the embalmed geriatrics that run the country.

Senate comes from Latin "senex", which literally means "old man". Go figure, walking corpses have run the world since antiquity.

It used to make sense. Not a lot of technology shifts between 2,000 BC and 1,000 AD. You wanted the folks who actually remembered what to do in case of an earthquake or tidal wave. It's different today; I recently looked up an article about Obama written in 2008. He was considered a big innovator because he owned a Blackberry.
