Whiskey Bar is one of the best political blogs out there. Billmon writes both passionately and well. I'm surprised to catch him in an error, albeit a small one.

Personally, I've come around to the idea that any Social Security fix based on accumulating surpluses now to balance shortfalls decades down the road is strictly a sucker's game, since the neo-Peronist wing of the GOP will only use the money to "pay" for more tax cuts and spending boondoggles -- albeit for billionaires, not the shirtless ones.

Bush is committed to "the shirtless ones." That's why he's celebrating Flag Day by having dinner with porn star Mary Carey. Americablog and Daily Kos have the details.
