Commentary: Sadly, it’s time for Joe to go

Commentary: Recalling the lost paradise of budget surpluses
Hard to believe, but once upon a time, economists worried that the U.S. government would pay off all its debt. Also hard to believe, once upon a time was only 11 years ago.

Commentary: Republicans begin to worry as political narrative turns
WASHINGTON — We may be reaching an inflection point, the moment when the terms of the political argument change decisively. Three indicators: An important speech by Rep. Paul Ryan, the increasingly sharp tone of President Obama’s rhetoric, and the success of Occupy Wall Street in resisting attempts to marginalize the movement.

Commentary: The latest on candidate Rick Perry
Watching Rick Perry debate is not easy, especially if you’re inclined to agree with him (in the abstract), but even if you’re not. This guy is the governor of Texas. He’s been in politics for decades. Agree or disagree, the same question comes to mind: How can he be so bad?

Commentary: Wisconsin’s Gov. Walker to keep on his liberal battle
MADISON, Wis. — The residues of liberalism’s Wisconsin Woodstock — 1960s radicalism redux: operatic lamentations, theatrical demonstrations and electoral futilities — are words of plaintive defiance painted on sidewalks around the state capitol. “Solidarity forever” was perhaps painted by a graduate student forever at the University of Wisconsin. “Repubs steal elections” is an odd accusation from people who, seeking to overturn the 2010 elections, cheered Democratic lawmakers who fled to Illinois — a congenial refuge for labor-subservient Democrats — in order to paralyze the duly-elected Legislature. The authors of the sidewalk graffiti have at least read Jefferson: “The tree of liberty is watered by the blood of tyrants.” The tyrant is “$cott Walker American Fa$ci$t.”
