Oh Joy! 82-Year-Old Bernie Sanders Is Running Again For The Senate

Now that we as a society have decided that the oldest members of our society should always be the ones to lead us, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders has decided that despite being 82 years old his time in the political limelight needs to keep on going as he has announced that he will be running for reelection. -- Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders: “Let me thank the people of Vermont, from the bottom of my heart, for giving me the opportunity to serve them in the United States Senate. It has been the honor of my life. Today, I am announcing my intention to seek another term. Here is why:”

Sanders, who was born nearly two months before the United States Naval base at Pearl Harbor was attacked by the then Empire of Japan in 1941, would be granted a 4th term in office should he win his bid to maintain his current seat. It doesn't come as any great shock that Sanders is looking to remain on the Government payroll, of course, since outside of some odd jobs here and there Bernie Sanders (who styles himself a Democratic Socialist because of his strong affinity for and understanding of the working man and his needs) has never drawn a paycheck for non-government related work. Some might consider hanging up their hat after 43 years continuously in elected office but there will it seems be no passing of the torch by Senator Sanders, who would be 88 at the end of the term should he win reelection.
