Scott Burns: Social Security Costs the Young Much More than It Costs Today's Retirees (assetbuilder.com)
Social Security is, and always has been, an income transfer program, not a funded retirement plan. The idea, in 1935, was to transfer income from younger earners who might save it to older retirees whose savings had been destroyed in the Great Depression. The transfer was expected to stimulate the economy by increasing spending while solving a major social problem- the poverty of retirees.

The Sage of Omaha has invested his own money in an ailing US bank, but all our mega-rich do is complain about income tax.


Andrew Tobias: You Respond To Ken
… Obama stood - and stands - for almost all the same things you do (science, reason, moderation, compassion, shared responsibility, a strong social safety net, health insurance for all, a woman's right to choose, equal rights for people like me, a progressive Supreme Court, membership in the community of nations, investment in education, innovation and infrastructure, clean air and water, effective government regulation) and because he was - and remains - a man of astounding talent and temperament. …


Jim Hightower: Yee-haw! Perry for president
On the surface, Perry is vying to be the furthest out of the tea party Republicans' far-out right-wingers - sort of Michele Bachmann with better hair. He wants to scuttle Social Security and Medicaid. Also, he says the federal government should not be "regulating the environment, protecting civil rights... [or even] creating national minimum wage laws."

"French Cinema" by Charles Drazin: A review by Jose-Luis Moctezuma
When one thinks of "French cinema" a certain tendency is evoked by the residue of classic francophone films that were, from the perspective of those who loved cinema but who did not grow up speaking French, considerably quieter and, perhaps, subtler than the mainstream Hollywood films.

Trivia Question from Yesterday


Who was the only actor to give voice to his character in all the different animated versions of Winnie the Pooh from Walt Disney - from Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day (1968) all the way through to Pooh's Heffalump Movie (2005)?

Adam answered:
   I got it right in one- John Fiedler, who was also a well-known working actor in 60s and 70s. I still remember him appearing on Star Trek and Bewitched (which I saw in reruns).



Sally said:
   I think it was character actor, John Fielder, who was the voice of Piglet in Walt Disney's Winnie-the-Pooh films, and died in 2005.

  OMG! The Pooh's are bloody Republicans!

Federal Agency Lifts Alaska Scientist's Suspension

Dr. Charles Monnett

An Alaska scientist whose observations of drowned polar bears spurred national publicity on climate warming returned to work Friday at the federal agency that oversees offshore petroleum drilling.

Dr. Charles Monnett was suspended from his job at the Anchorage office of the Bureau of Ocean Energy, Management, Regulation and Enforcement after federal inspectors said he helped a polar bear researcher prepare a proposal even though he was the government official responsible for determining whether the proposal met minimum qualifications. He was away from his job for the last six weeks.

But advocacy group Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility has claimed Monnett was targeted for his 2006 paper in a scientific journal on the drowned polar bears. The account made national news, helped to galvanize the global warming movement and was cited in former Vice President Al Gore's book and movie, "An Inconvenient Truth."

The Interior Department's Office of Inspector General recounted in an Aug. 15 letter to Monnett that he had admitted to acting inappropriately while working as a contracting officer for the bureau. The letter said Monnett had acknowledged assisting a Canadian researcher, Dr. Andrew Derocher, in preparing the research proposal.

The Inspector General's inquiry into the paper drew outrage from scientists in both the U.S. and abroad and undermined the Obama administration's posture on climate change, Ruch said Friday.

USO Tour

Louis CK

In even the uniquely unvarnished, autobiographical world of "Louie," an hour-long episode that tenderly draws together Middle East war zones and ducklings is a particular accomplishment.

Thursday night's "Louie," the FX series written, directed by and starring comedian Louis C.K., was a marvel for any number of reasons. It was the first hour-long "Louie"; the first to credit Louis C.K.'s 6-year-old daughter, Mary Louise, for a story idea; and with a budget of $500,000 (nearly twice the show's relatively threadbare budget), its most expensive.

In the episode, titled "Duckling," Louie's daughters sneak a pet duckling into his luggage before he travels to Iraq and Afghanistan on a USO tour. In the Middle East, he secretly cares for the duckling while having a moving experience performing stand-up for soldiers and, in the show's touching conclusion, meeting Afghan farmers.

Much of the episode took inspiration from Louis C.K.'s 2008 Sergeant Major of the Army Tour to Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait, an experience that resonated for the 43-year-old comedian. Country singer and former U.S. Army Ranger Keni Thomas and cheerleader Lilly Robbins were on the tour, and both have significant roles as themselves in the "Louie" episode.

Weight Loss Is No Joke

Carrie Fisher

Back in December, writer and actress Carrie Fisher began a long journey to shed pounds, hiring on as a celebrity spokeswoman for weight loss company Jenny Craig and targeting 30 lbs. She did far better.

On Wednesday, the woman who in her twenties made many a young man swoon as "Star Wars" Princess Leia in her metal bikini, revealed that she'd lost 50 lbs.

Fisher, now 54, has used her sly wit to write seriously about her life's struggles growing up in a celebrity family, daughter of Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher. One book, "Wishful Drinking," morphed into a one-woman stage show. Here, she reveals how she went from a chubby 180 lbs to a fit 130.

Q: Everyone always wants to know, what's the secret?

Wedding News

Coppola - Mars

Filmmaker Sofia Coppola went back to her roots for her wedding Saturday, marrying rocker Thomas Mars in the remote, southern Italian town where her great-grandfather was born.

Coppola's famous filmmaker father, Francis Ford Coppola, escorted the 40-year-old Sofia down the aisle to a waiting Mars, lead singer of the French band Phoenix and the father of their two young daughters.

The early evening ceremony took place in the garden of the palazzo that the elder Coppola renovated in the historic center of Bernalda, a city near the Gulf of Taranto in Italy's Basilicata region, according to Mayor Leonardo Chiruzzi who performed the ceremony.

The bride wore a sheer, lavender tulle dress and Mars a gray suit with a flower in the lapel. The bride and her father were preceded down the aisle by the couple's older daughter and other children. After Coppola and Mars said their "si" in the civil service, she tossed her bouquet and a friend caught it, Chiruzzi said.

Increases Risks - Gasp

Social Networking

Time spent social networking increases the risk of teens smoking, drinking and using drugs, according to a national survey of American attitudes on substance abuse released on Wednesday.

On a typical day, 70 percent of teens ages 12 to 17 -- 17 million teenagers -- spend from a minute to hours on Facebook, Myspace and other social networking sites, according to The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) at Columbia University.

But for this same age bracket, social-network-savvy teens are five times more likely to use tobacco; three times more likely to use alcohol; and twice as likely to use marijuana than teens who do not spend any of their day on social networking sites.

"The results are profoundly troubling ... the anything goes, free-for-all world of Internet expression, suggestive television programing and what-the-hell attitudes put teens at sharply increased risk of substance abuse," CASA Founder and Chairman Joseph Califano Jr said in a statement.

Knowledge Networks surveyed 1,037 teens ages 12 to 17 and 528 parents of these teens over the Internet. QEV Analytics, Ltd. conducted the annual telephone survey of 1,006 teens 12 to 17, asking questions CASA has used to track trends.

Reaches Settlement

Mel "Sugar Tits" Gibson

After sparring for more than a year, Mel "Sugar Tits" Gibson and his ex-girlfriend have reached a financial and custody settlement of a bitter dispute that spawned a criminal case and left the Academy Award winner's reputation damaged.

Los Angeles Superior Court officials said in a statement late Friday that Gibson and Russian musician Oksana Grigorieva had reached an agreement after days of negotiation. Terms and conditions of the settlement were not announced, but a hearing Wednesday will be held to discuss the financial terms.

The equally contentious issue of custody of the couple's infant daughter will be handled in closed session, the court announced.

Gibson's spokesman Alan Nierob confirmed the settlement and said the actor-director appreciated the judge's help in mediating the case.

Bad Week

Gilbert Sisters

It has been a difficult week in the love lives of TV's Gilbert sisters, with both women enduring breakups of their long-term relationships.

Melissa Gilbert, who became a child star on the long-running television series "Little House on the Prairie," has filed for divorce from her husband, actor Bruce Boxleitner, five months after they announced their separation.

Court papers filed in Los Angeles cited irreconcilable differences, and the two are seeking joint custody of their 15 year-old son, Michael.

Earlier in the week, the 47-year-old actress's younger half-sister, Sara Gilbert of "The Talk," ended her 10-year relationship with Allison Adler, a writer-producer of "Glee." The couple will share custody of their two children, People magazine reported.

Woodcutsi Show

Katsushika Hokusai

A retrospective spanning the 70-year career of Katsushika Hokusai, the master of the Japanese woodcut print best known for his series of views of Mount Fuji, is going on show in Berlin.

The exhibition charts the artist's work from its beginnings in 1779 through his many phases and multiple pseudonyms. From the sublime to the ridiculous, from Fuji to frogs, there's a bit of everything.

The centerpiece is the acclaimed "36 Views of Mount Fuji" series, complete with the artist's signature image, "The Great Wave off the Coast of Kanagawa," in which a huge wave towers over fishing boats in front Fuji's distinctive cone.

That hangs next to "South Wind at Clear Dawn," showing Fuji glowing red in the morning light; and an image in which the mountain is surrounded by rain clouds.

Those pictures, however, come well into the visitor's tour of the exhibition at the German capital's Martin Gropius Bau museum, which traces Hokusai's work chronologically from his beginnings as a student of woodcut printmaker Katuswaka Shunsho.

British Library

Illuminated Manuscripts

Flecks of gold and vibrant swirls of royal blue grace the pages of illuminated royal manuscripts at the British Library in London, which will shortly go on show to the public.

The 150 manuscripts in the exhibition represent the most stunning pieces from the library's collection, the largest group of medieval manuscripts in Britain and one of the most important in the world.

"The manuscripts contain tens of thousands of the best medieval decorative and figurative paintings, which are as vivid as they were when they were first painted," said Scot McKendrick, head of history and classical studies at the British Library.

The richly-colored exhibition will span the period between the eighth and 16th century, displaying images that have remained encased within the tomes for hundreds of years, protected from light and dirt.

The artifacts range from the depiction of the lineage of English kings across five meters of parchment scrolls to a dynamic illustration of Alexander the Great slaying dragons.

A popular artist that just plain pisses you off?
A box set the whole world should own?
Vile, filthy rumors about Republican hypocrites?
Just plain vile, filthy rumors?
This is your place.

In other words, submissions are welcome.
