2009 list of the most powerful octogenarians in America came out this week!
Welcome to the "80 Over 80," Slate's annual list of the nation's silver lions: fourscore elder statesmen, business leaders, and cultural icons who have each remained influential into their ninth decade and beyond. As always, we've ranked these still-twinkling stars according to their power and importance, with extra credit given for energetic achievements post-80 and for being really, really, really old.
(An octgenarian is....a person between 80 and 90)
Guess who made #1? This little cute guy is now 82 yrs old ....
Our very own Prophet! (shown here with his wife) 
CLICK HERE to see the other 79 on the list.
The top spot this year goes to 82-year-old Thomas S. Monson, president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the only person on the list to rule over millions of people as a prophet of God. Enjoy it while you can, Monson—you're only old once.
