I find it grating lately when I hear news reports, particularly on TV, describe cities with Occupy Wall St. encampments as “losing patience” with the protests. It seems to imply that the dissent is something to be humored and, by extension, something that can justifiably be put down by force because they’ve “worn out their welcome.” Eerily similar to the Bonus Army of the 1930s when war veterans were thrown out of a camp near the capitol, two men shot and their shanty town burned.

Study in contrasts

Tracking down and killing Bin Laden has the president feeling justifiably proud, in a reserved way, of course. But his strength is tempered by the continuing weakness of the economy, which is, by extension, his own weakness.
