Senior Outrageous

From Reuters: Elderly New Yorkers angry as crisis hits poorest:

NEW YORK (Reuters) - From housebound grandmothers who rely on charity meal deliveries, to ailing retirees who cannot pay rising costs for medications, older Americans feeling the pinch of the financial crisis are getting angry and forming groups with names like "Senior Outrage."

In New York, with city and state tax revenues tumbling, benefits and services to the elderly are being cut, and many older residents are furiously drawing comparisons to the billions of dollars spent to bail out banks -- and pay Wall Street bonuses.

I think they should call themselves 'Senior Outrageous'. Or 'The RetireMen'. Or 'Senior Street Fighters'.
