he hasn't been on Ebay seeking to buy Grover Cleveland's underpants (unworn), he doesnt' know that all the wisdom of the ages is compressed in Wiki, eliminating the need for anything as demanding as reading a book. What a wonderful surreal world will unfold before him when he learns about pornographic channels and discover more about the marvellous drollery of media-person Martin Bashir when commenting on the allure of "Asian babes".
If he can summon the courage to read Amanda Terkel he must accept that his age is an "UNSAVORY topic", and I'm wondering if this writing-person is referring to the labiate herb, savory, and suggesting that he and all seniors should eat more greens like arugula, for instance. I don't think that's what she's implying with her clunking "unsavory" as it means unpleasant and, frequently, morally offensive. She has tried to play a cat-and-mouse game but doesn't have the skills, coming across as more mousey than feline. Instead of honestly offering an opinion on age, even if all she knows about it comes from T.S.Eliot's "Gerontius", she comes up with the facetious idea that the ability to Google like crazy makes you relevant or, on the other hand, essentially a non-person. Barack Obama's senior foreign policy advisor (in a cast of hundreds) is Zbigniev Brzezinski and I don't think he's a "pring chicken" any more than McCain but if he can Google and boogie at the same time wouldn't it be great ! He could even get a droll screen name such as Ziggy Stardust and who knows...He might be an even better writer than Amanda Terkel, difficult and all as that would be.
