Near-miss headline

Associated Press: Bush, Mom Pitch Social Security Overhaul (pointer from [livejournal.com profile] wonkette)

Of course, I misread this as "Overboard".

Check out The Ideal Social Security System, by Brad DeLong. Not a long entry, but I mostly agree with it:

"It is a shame that we have been unable to use this year's debate to move us closer to an ideal system. But--given the manifold incompetencies and mendacities of the Bush administration--it was never more than a one-in-twenty shot anyway."

bwa ha ha! I probably would have read the headline that way too (can't tell because I read the whole post in one bite).
