Marketing Memo

   Voters take note: Changing the message doesn't always change the product. GOP leaders are changing their presentations after November's defeat, but while the names and strategies have changed, the themes and goals have not.

   Heard on TV: Even though he's 90 years old, he can still talk. This was in reference to a talk by Henry Kissinger, but it suggests surprise that older citizens are ever lucid. Health care professionals, especially, seem to believe that anyone over 60 is either deaf, senile, stupid, or all of the above.

   Whatever happened to respect for experience and a store of knowledge that can only be acquired over time? This is not, of course, to be confused with wisdom, which is knowing how to use acquired knowledge.
