I attended a taping of a public affairs, cable show in N.Y.C.. The host was a 92 years old, later. He was debating some shill from the Tobacco Institute. It was a thing of beauty. The institute guy didn't have a chance.

Now in fairness, since the instate shill's arguments were based on Tobacco Institute lies that were easily refuted.... but still.

Because you are old, doesn't mean your mind is addled.
