...consider a few. Most importantly, there is no crisis in Social Security. In the early 1980s, Congress made a series of adjustments to Social Security, raising both payroll taxes and the retirement age. Since then, Social Security has run a massive surplus, invested in a Trust Fund of iron clad Treasury bonds that will be tapped in 2018 when the Baby Boomers cause Social Security to run a deficit.

Of the myriad good-looking, platinum-haired, leather-clad guys who sang about sex, Idol had the sharpest jaw, the spikiest mane, the tightest pants and a dirty trinity of hits about masturbation (Dancing with Myself), virginity (White Wedding) and the age of consent (Cradle of Love).
