If the truth be known, Id bet ya that Strom is older than the Grim Reaper.
Well, Dave Clark still looks pretty good, and I think he’s coming up on his third or fourth centennial this year.

“Palpatine, I am your father…”
Well, Palpatine had to learn his…erm…political skills somewhere.

Pretend?
The only memory I have of Strom is a video segment shown on Jay Leno’s Tonight Show taken during the Clinton Impeachment Hearings in the Senate. There was Strom picking his nose and intently examining the booger on the end of his finger.
Civil service retirement plan won’t pay much for Strom’s retirement package, that’s for sure.
Of course, his aides have been doing all the real work for years. Wonder if I will be around by 100. He was older than I am now on the day that I was born in 1954. In fact, he ran for president in 1948 6 years before I was born.
Better people have probably lived shorter lives. Glad I don’t have to measure their worth.
Hahaha. That clip from The Daily Show was just great. I love watching Jon, always good to unwind from a long day.
Only the good die young…
For what is life, if measured by the space,
Not by the act?
Or masked man, if valued by his face
Above his fact?
Here’s one outlived his peers
And told forth fourscore years;
He vexed time, and busied the whole state,
Troubled both foes and friends,
But ever to no ends;
What did this stirrer, but die late?
– Ben Jonson
Sorry, I’m brand new to this (still have that new car smell), but…don’t we mean DICK Clark?!? Dave Clark (or any of his 5) appear to have aged normally, from what I can see.
:smack:
