Angry Old Birds

There is nothing more caustic than an old coot, as witnessed in the helpful lifestyle hints offered by the AARP.  Scroll through the list of the boring and banal advice down to the comment section.  Most of the comments  seem to be from  former editors, teachers, or gonzo journalists intent on pointing out  how ridiculous the suggestions are.  "Give us some real help," they demand, "not this pap."  Who would have thought there were so many angry old retired people?
