"Writing about music is like dancing about architecture" begins a quote attributed to Elvis Costello.  "It's a really stupid thing to want to do."

Well, the same might be said of talking about talking.  There is a good article in yesterday's Baltimore Examiner about the need to get on with real conversations about entitlement reform, rather than continuing to discuss potential discussions.  Here's an excerpt:

Democrats ought to take the “everything’s on the table” messages they’re getting — and keep getting, in public and private — from Paulson, Portman, Bolten and Bush as a “yes” and get on with actual talks about what everyone agrees is an impending crisis that can only be dealt with on a bipartisan basis.
