POLITICS: Still worshipping idols who proved EVIL

Hand it to Sen. Bernie Sanders, he’s a busy socialist beaver: The night before he hits Sunday’s “tax the rich” rally in The Bronx, he’ll co-headline a “No Kings” festival in St. Paul, Minn.

And the lineup there gives you a hint of how Sanders stays so vigorous: He’ll be joined on stage by Bruce Springsteen, Joan Baez and Jane Fonda.

At 76, The Boss is the baby in that group, but Bernie is second youngest, a spry 84; the ladies are 85 and 88.

Plenty of folks have noted the prevalence of white (and blue) hair in “No Kings” crowds, and good for all concerned: Regular light cardio is a great way to stay healthy as you age.
