Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Bark louder, little dog.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

T R E 4 5 O N

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Optimism opens the door to great things.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

This really is a full service blog.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

“So not only did the tax cut fail to prevent a recession, as its supporters said it would,” Mr. Daschle said, “it probably made the recession worse.”

My thoughts:

A.) He can NOT POSSIBLY think this is true.
B.) He can NOT POSSIBLY believe this is true.
C.) He can NOT POSSIBLY think WE believe this.

-and finally-

D.) If he is right, I want a refund from my undergraduate economics professors.

From the same speech, this gem (referencing the tax cuts as helping to lessen the recession):

“What we got instead,” he said, “was the most dramatic fiscal deterioration in our nation’s history.”

I wonder if Mr. Daschle remembers this.
