Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

Bark louder, little dog.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

One of the first things

One of the first things I noticed when I started to read all ofthese blogs was that I no longer feel the need to have the tv running on CNN, MSNBC, or FOX 24/7. Bloggers are funnier, faster, and wiser. At any rate, I still watch some shows while I am working, and I would like to nominate this gem as the Best Question by a Telepundit for the Year 2002.

At any rate, last Thursday or Friday, Mike Barnicle was filling in for Chris Matthews, and he asked Alon Pinkas to “explain to me the difference between Osama bin Laden and Yasser Arafat besides height.”

I could not have said it better myself, Mike.
