If you needed any confirmation that gray or grey power is in the ascendant, the headline item is discussing The Distinguished-Looking President’s Other Gray Matter.
After just 44 days on the job, the 47-year-old president is showing a bit of gray in his hair. “The gray, it’s not a whole lot, but he has a few strands,” explained Zariff, the president’s Chicago barber for 17 years, who goes by a single name. “It’s quite normal for his age group.”
“Seniors, listen up. I’m getting gray hair myself,” Obama quipped at a campaign stop in Indiana last spring. “The gray is coming quick,” he told supporters a few months later in Colorado. “By the time I’m sworn in, I will look the part.”
It is a welcome reminder that grey power does not just refer to a cosmetic feature, but can point to all that grey matter that is available within our senior citizens’ crania. It is not therefore just their disposable income that seniors can use to assist the economy, but perhaps their intellectual capacities can also come into play.
