Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

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

Everybody saw this coming.

In my day, never was longer.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

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

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

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

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Andrew Sullivan notes that it

Andrew Sullivan notes that it is a sad world because the 10 day old daugher of Britain’s chancellor of the exchequer, Gordon Brown, died. I disagree. This is a terribly sad event, and we do extend our condolences, but the remarkable rarity of this sort of tragedy as opposed to the frequency with which it occurred just 30 years ago is reason enough for a positive outlook for the future. The daily expansions in our medicine, science, and technology, as well as the unprecedented freedoms we enjoy, are truly a marvel to behold. Don’t forget what we are fighting for when we send out troops into Afghanistan to stop an enemy who wants to terrorize us back to the stone ages.
