...course, we may be having the wrong conversation altogether. The problem isn't necessarily that we're not taking in enough money, but that we're not sending it out in the right way. It seems more than a little schizophrenic to be running a $760 billion surplus on one side of the government ledger while carrying a $3.7 trillion debt on the other, and while the White House plan takes care of one part of the equation, it sidesteps making the unpopular choices - like means-testing - that would truly make Social Security a viable program. "We will...

...final problem with Body Shots is that it doesn't really offer anything new. Date rape is an important issue, but the discussion of "did he or didn't he" is reduced to a "he said, she said" argument, and nothing more.

She's in danger of becoming the female Chris O'Donnell--part girl, part woman and hard up for roles that really serve her talents...

...They're not the only ones. Besides trying to block both the Nation of Islam-sponsored Million Youth March and the Klan rally, Giuliani has drawn fire for his recent attempt to remove city funding from the Brooklyn Museum over an art exhibit. Although the moves seem to be designed to position him at the moderate center, Giuliani hasn't been able to make the transition completely: He plans to appeal the court's ruling, which he sharply criticized as "another example of the '60s ideology." Note to Hillary: There's still plenty of room in the middle...
