The commission to study how to get federal debt under control floated a trial balloon when it released recommendations by Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles, and it seems just about nobody likes or believes what they're saying. Obama went to Indonesia, Korea and the G-20 and came back empty handed. Is the thrill gone? And what manner of Beast will Newsweek become under Tina Brown's guidance? (Arianna Huffington and Tony Blankley are away. Sitting in on the Right is Republican strategist David Winston.)
