...current spending plan for next year would siphon at least $18 billion of the fund's surplus. And that, it said, was a conservative estimate. DeLay and the rest of the GOP leadership had little to say about the apparently glaring contradiction; the GOP rank and file sound worried. Under nocircumstances? "That's kind of an absolute statement," fretted Illinois representative Ray LaHood. Added Indiana representative Mark Souder, "If the impression comes out that we're into Social Security but not admitting it, that's almost worse than [spending the money...
...victim of Let's Go exploitation, I did some thinking. I was all alone, bitter and so bored that I watched my laptop's graphics demo five times. A low-key break from civilization turned into a personal hell when I realized who I was stuck with--me. The sound of my voice in my head drove me insane as I'd crank through the same set of self-examining questions. Over and over. I would even dictate impassioned editor's notes (like this) in my head. At the time, I didn't think I was making much progress...
...Days ($26.24). These new creations make big promises at The Vitamin Shoppe (28 JFK St., Cambridge; 354-8765; Monday-Saturday 9 a.m.-9 p.m., Sunday 11 a.m.-6 p.m.).

The court?s deliberations will be watched carefully by lawmakers, because if the commerce clause is rejected as a viable basis for anti-discrimination law, it could affect not only the Violence Against Women Act but also countless other civil rights laws. ?Every major civil rights law on the federal books was enacted under the interstate commerce clause of the Constitution,? says Sanders...
Lesser Today would be more apt for this retrograde expansion of NBC's franchise morning show. The easy-listening fare--dating younger men, how to "test-drive" a dog--isn't really the problem so much as the tone. The ingratiating host trio makes Rosie O'Donnell sound like a shock jock (co-host Florence Henderson seems grateful to be on TV at all: "Good morning! This is so much fun!"). After The View proved that homebound audiences like a little sass with their coffee and celebs, Later needs a shot of attitude in its cup. Maybe Joy Behar...
