But every now and then someone really young shows us that the other lot are just a bunch of middle aged stiffs who only look youthful because everyone around them is so very ancient.
The Times reports on Michael Sessions. Hes 18-years-old. And hes just been elected mayor of Hillsdale, Michigan.
Sessions, who ran for office on a budget of $700 and on a pledge to increase the towns full-time firefighting force from three to four, is the youngest elected official in America.
