Generous parents explain themselves in various ways. Vern Bengtson, 59, a University of Southern California professor and father of three daughters, allows that he has spent a small fortune on his children since the early 1990s. He and his wife Hanna, 57, helped Julie, 31, buy a condo and Erin, 28, start a business in Santa Barbara. They have also been funding Kristina, 27, who tried a modeling and singing career in New York City and then returned to California to attend college.

Sure, some of the Jewish seniors gathering in their condo lounges in jogging suits are a little crabby over being called doddering geezers for voting for Pitchfork Pat, who longs for a Christian nation. There are jokes about our need for outside observers from El Salvador. But I haven't heard of any residents of the oceanfront towers in Palm Beach...
