Social Security

So the Bushies want to reform Social Security. T'other day the Ivory Madonna heard one of them on the radio, saying something like:

People should be allowed to make their own choices in investing their retirement funds, and then take responsibility for the choices they make. If they make good investment choices, then they'll be much better off; and if they make bad choices, that will be their responsibility.

Excuse me, but we've tried that before. It was called The Great Depression.

Resolved...

The Ivory Madonna's New Year's Resolution for 2005:

This year, I will stop saying nasty things about people who aren't around...unless the things I say are terribly, terribly clever.

Previous resolutions:

2002: I will become a slob.
2003: Having become a slob, I will aspire to become a lazy slob.
2004: Having succeeded spectacularly in becoming a lazy slob, I resolve to become a fat, lazy slob.
