The comic strip Mr. Boffo has a recurring feature called "People Unclear on the Concept", in which someone displays a serious fundamental lack of misunderstanding. I'd like to think that George W. Bush has a similar lack of comprenehsion about the word "social" and the word "security", and what they mean when you put them together.
1905: "They made us many promises, but they kept only one: they said they would take our land, and they took it."
2005: "They made us many promises, but they kept only one: They said they would cut Social Security benefits by 40%, and they cut them."
Keep Social Security secure.
Elsewhere in the news, my body-weight profile now stands at:
October: 240 lbs.
November: 222 lbs.
December: 217 lbs.
January: 215 lbs.
February: 214 lbs.
Not bad, but I believe I'll try to steepen that curve just a tad.
