FDL has overview of the 3 studies and the ramifications of the cuts. Here is one:

But the most interesting response came from the independent chief actuary of Social Security, requested by Rep. Earl Pomeroy, who oversees Social Security in the House. As he says, the results showed even bigger benefit cuts for the middle class.

Under progressive price indexing, the chief actuary says, benefits for middle income workers would be cut up to 42% for an individual born in 2015, and up to 25% for one born in 1985. Increasing the retirement age slashes benefits up to 20% across the board. And cutting the cost of living adjustment, or otherwise tweaking it, reduces benefits gradually but consistently over time.

Forty Alaska Republicans have signed an open letter to Republican Senate candidate Joe Miller, urging him to start answering questions from the media and voters about his background and qualifications to serve.
"It is unacceptable -- and certainly not a winning strategy -- to explicitly refuse to answer reasonable questions about oneself, and to disrespect the Alaska public and the press' right to do so before the questions have even been asked," said the letter, made public Wednesday.

Democratic Party.

SEATTLE (AP) -- In a last-ditch effort to prevent electoral disaster, President Barack Obama and Democratic allies are vigorously wooing women voters, whose usually reliable support appears to have softened.

From blunt TV ads to friendlier backyard chats, they're straining to persuade women that it's the Democrats who are on their side and it's in women's vital interest to turn out and vote in the Nov. 2 elections that could give Republicans control of one or both houses of Congress. AP

The fact that they need women to win is something that they might have wanted to consider during the health insurance debate and the Nelson amendment. Also, I might be able to decide if I should vote for them in about the same time frame as when they decide if birth control will be covered.

A representative of HRSA could not comment on whether birth control would be covered under agency "comprehensive guidelines" because they are only in initial planning phases.

"We have six months from passage to come up with that, and it's still being worked on," said HRSA communications director Martin Kramer. link

Why is Mickey Mouse prancing around naked?  Because the rent is too damn high!

Right.

As if Daniel Shore always told it factually and never let his opinion filter into his comments.

Please.

Nevermind the fact that she said he should keep his comments betwen "himself and his phychiatrist".  Which she soon apologized for.

You know what never gets old? The irony of having an accomplished actor read some inane thing a flash-in-the-pan teen idol wrote. It worked with Christopher Walken reading Lady Gaga lyrics  last fall, and it's working again with this video of Canadian film actor Gordon Pinsent reading from Justin Bieber's new memoir First Step 2 Forever.
