Quote of the Day

"We cannot risk our retirement benefit in the stock market. Women want a guaranteed benefit, not a guaranteed gamble. . . . We know with every pull of the slot machine arm, we are more likely to get three lemons instead of three gold bars." -- Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski, D-Md., denouncing privatizing Social Security.

Guess who invests her own retirement cash in the stock market? Here are some hints: She's four feet tall, she's a Democrat, she's from Maryland, and - apparently - she's a gambler.
