Noah lets Paul Ryan have it

In this photo taken June 9, 2015, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., answers questions during an interview with The Associated Press in his office on Capitol Hill in Washington. First, give presidents the power to strike trade deals. Then overturn President Barack Obamas health care law, overhaul the tax code and reform welfare. And someday? Figure out whether to run for president. Call it the New Ryan Plan, a map not just to big changes in the nations fiscal policy, but to Paul Ryans future. It points the ninth-term congressman and chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee away from the presidential campaign trail and into the thicket of policy that he says will set the country on better financial footing. The path likely emerges at a familiar decision point _ whether to run for president _ somewhere down the road. Ryan, 45, says he might decide to take that step, someday. (AP Photo/Molly Riley) (AP)

The GOP's dark suicide pact

FILE - This June 19, 2014 file photo shows House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., with Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., left, and Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio, right, on Capitol Hill in Washington just after McCarthy was voted new majority leader, replacing Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va., who was defeated in the primary election. This year, Congress logged a confidence rating of 7 percent, the lowest Gallup has measured for any institution, ever. People talk about throwing the bums out, but voters keep sending the same bunch back in. This November, when Republicans and Democrats face off in what looks to be a dramatic midterm election, the vast majority of current lawmakers are sitting snugly in their seats. (AP Photo/J.

The GOP is ungovernable
