Bitter oldster lectures young’uns on both high finances and high fiber

Usually you have to work the morning shift at Coco’s or at a dry cleaners to be afforded the opportunity to patiently listen to an old man with nothing better to do  bend your ear about the sad state of affairs in the world today and how things have really gone to "hell in a hand basket" or some other quaint elderly person expression that makes you remember that you really must  die before you get old. But now, through the miracle of teh internets, you can sit in the privacy of your own home and be lectured and harangued by someone who quit his job in the Senate after only eight years so he could  do a little TV, marry and ‘do’ an ex-cheerleader, and then run for President between naps.

How very fortunate for America that a camera just happened to be there and filming when Fred turned from his newspaper-readin’ and ruminatin’ (in a very unstagey manner, I might add) and spoke to us in that folksy unscripted way of his. The part where he started coughing and accidentally pooped himself was also a nice touch. Very natural. Very…. earthy.
