Coffee Mug Christmas Eve (Dec 24 2004 20:30 GMT) - The past two years I did a "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" type posts. This year, I hit the the Captain Morgan and eggnog early and decided to take the easy way out. In the theme of the past years though, I have all Jake's gifts nestled under the tree with care and have just settled back for a night full of A Christmas Story. Some people leave milk and cookies for Santa, well in the Buffington household, we leave a cup of coffee. Around here tonight, it is going to be below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. |

A Better Fix (Dec 24 2004 20:28 GMT) - A better fix than privatizing Social Security - The president's determination to partially privatize Social Security stems from ideological reasons. But in fact the projected Social Security deficit is small enough - 1.89 percent of payroll, under the Social Security trustees' intermediate assumptions (neither optimistic nor pessimistic) - that a major revision to the system is not necessary. The deficit can be remedied with a few discrete changes in the program, all of which are surprisingly easy to understand and accept. |

Янукович призвал всех мириться (Dec 24 2004 20:27 GMT) - Кандидат в президенты Виктор Янукович надеется на переговоры со своим оппонентом Виктором Ющенко с целью предотвращения возможного конфликта между их сторонниками после выборов 26 декабря и подписание соответствующего меморандума, сообщает "Интерфакс-Украина". "Я хотел бы, чтобы мы сели и договорились, что будет после выборов, чтобы он понял, что для себя лично я ничего не будут просить, чтобы мы успокоили общество, успокоили людей в регионах и своих сторонников и пообещали, что не будем оказывать на них давление теми средствами, как это было после второго тура... что будет мир в нашем государстве. Если мы подпишем такой меморандум, чтобы мы публично его обнародовали - я не хотел бы иметь никаких сепаратных переговоров - чтобы это были переговоры на серьезном государственном уровне", - сказал сегодня Янукович в эфире канала "1+1". Кандидат в президенты уверен в реальности достижения такой договоренности за два дня до выборов. |
