It speaks volumes about the Republican fantasy world that alleged deep thinker Paul Ryan foresees a balanced budget in 10 years - thanks to the repeal of Obamacare.

Will somebody please stage an intervention and tell this guy that Obamacare is here to stay, and that therefore his new budget blueprint is delusional?

There once was a time when Obama routinely assailed the influence of big money in politics. Not anymore.

Obama originally vowed to cleanse Washington's money-saturated political culture; now he is exacerbating that culture. He used to denounce the tactics of people like Karl Rove; now he's mimicking Karl Rove.

Joe McCarthy discomfited and embarrassed his fellow Republicans for four years, before they finally summoned the courage to slap him down in 1954. Let's hope the current Senate brethren don't take nearly that long with Cruz.

Chris Christie got laughs on the Letterman show last week when he showed up with a doughnut, figuring that the best way to defuse the issue is to make light of his weight. But this is no laughing matter.
