Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

I was promised a recession.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Miracles never cease. Bob Herbert

Miracles never cease. Bob Herbert has just said something not only mildly amusing, but something I agree with in his latest column (registration required). I actually only agree with a part of what he said, but given my storied past involving acid reflux and Herbert’s columns, this is a baby step in the right direction. The quote in question:

“Welcome to New York. If he’s tough and sane, Mike Bloomberg might manage to succeed. But it’s absolutely fair to wonder about the sanity of a man with $4 billion who voluntarily subjects himself to the routine torments inflicted on the mayor of New York.”

I agree. I have often thought that desire to assume any high level political office should be an automatice disqualification fopr the position. The rest of the column is, well, Herbertian.
