Starting the day off with Second City...

Because Second City is cool regardless!

Laugh all you want— comedic actress Lori McClain takes her job seriously. And she should.
McClain auditioned for 11 years before getting hired by The Second City, Chicago's elite comedy theater and school that over four decades has churned out a who's-who list of comedy stars: Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Gilda Radner and John Candy are just a few famous names in the long list of Second City alumni who made it big.
It's no wonder then, that aspiring actors across the country head to Chicago, hoping for a shot with the company.
"I have the record for trying out the longest," McClain said with a laugh during a recent phone interview. "... I moved (to Chicago) specifically to study at Second City and prayed I'd get hired. I'd basically given up."

The only beef with that article is that I thought Adam Sandler went the stand-up comedy route.

The Law and Order: Special Victims Unit episode with Danielle Panabaker is on March 29, 2005. The episode keeps getting pushed back...

Senator Lieberman responds to Paul Krugman:

Paul Krugman ("The $600 Billion Man," column, March 15) claims that when I say that every year we do nothing about Social Security's coming insolvency we add $600 billion in unfunded liabilities, I am "helping to spread a lie."

Nonsense. Experts we've consulted at the Social Security Administration have confirmed this estimate.

Everyone knows that Social Security is on a path to insolvency. Every year that we wait to make the program solvent will cost us more.

I know that Mr. Krugman opposes the president's carved-out private savings accounts. So do I. But if we stop there, the victims will be tens of millions of seniors who need Social Security to escape poverty.

As a columnist, Mr. Krugman has the right to just say no. As a lawmaker, I have a responsibility to work with other members of Congress in both parties and with the administration to protect this great program.

And as a Democrat, I feel a special responsibility to preserve one of my party's most effective initiatives ever.
