One More Globe Snippet to Complain About
From Ellen Goodman's column about whether Barack Obama is too young to be taken seriously:
One of the charms of the boomers, the watermelon in the demographic python, is how they are managing to age without getting old.
Well, there goes a perfectly good mouthful of coffee.
Without getting old?!? Obviously, Ellen Goodman hasn't recently watched a football game, where the beer commercials are now outnumbered by the commercials for prescription drugs to treat male problems. Commercials targeted, without irony, to the same people who flipped their wigs (sorry...hair transplants) over the fact that they had to suddenly explain the facts of life to their kids when Janet Jackson's tired old bosom was revealed to the nation. I give Ellen props for the watermelon line, though.
