Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This blog will pay for itself.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

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

I really should read my own blog.

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

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

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.
