It's beyond me how people don't even mention RFKJr as being a candidate. Like he's not got a ghost of a chance and we have to choose between who's the least worst of the old farts? Screw that.

Henry Fonda from On Golden Pond is a fine choice. A grumpy old coot. Or you could write in your vote for me as a proxy for old Henry. I am within 7 years of how old he was in that movie. And I can be just as curmudgeonly. A friend of mine told his wife way back in '81 that Fonda's character was exactly like what he expected ME to be when I was an old geezer. I'll own up to that. Besides I think I can claim Henry Fonda as kind of an ancestor. In the 1939 film "Drums Along the Mohawk" he played Gil Martin, patriotic American colonist in Revolutionary War era German Flats, NY. My Martin ancestors lived in that community circa 1770-1840. So, I claim Henry Fonda as my who-knows-how-many great grandpa. I am not sure what that means for my relation to Jane or Peter.
