I wasn't a big Donahue fan in the past, and it was pure luck that I did
catch Ellen's appearance on this show the other evening.  She was paired
with some young Harvard Law grad who had an ax to grind about Social
Security as a "Ponzi scheme," though this selfsame lawyer was on the show
ostensibly because she had lost her savings in the *stock market.*  Go
figure.  Ellen did an excellent job countering this woman's rabidly anti-SS
claims.
