Sense And Nonsense by Tan Bah Bah
Let’s talk about elderly men this week. I just want to take two seemingly unrelated events and see whether we can learn something useful.

Some, however, replied that the cabby died doing what he loved: “Better than rotting alone in a small flat and only noticed by your neighbours when they detected a foul, rotting smell after many days.” Now that’s an interesting number: 81. That is the age of US President Joseph Biden. He will be 82 in November should he continue to be the Democrats’ Presidential candidate.podcast earlier last week. Katty Kay, a BBC journalist, and Anthony Scaramucci, the ex-Trump spokesman now turned critic, were discussing Biden’s disastrous performance in the first Presidential debate between him and the Republicans’ Donald Trump.
The fact that his rival Donald Trump is 78, who is now reportedly leading in the polls after Biden’s debate debacle, will be no consolation given the current global challenges, ranging from the climate, Gaza, Ukraine, Russian aggression, US-China trade war and rivalry to Taiwan and North Korea. But just as uncertainty creates more downside for a party, it also creates more upside. Given what Democrats have now realised about Biden, they may be willing to take that risk.
