Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

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

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

Everybody saw this coming.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

This blog will pay for itself.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

The National Review Online has

The National Review Online has a new ‘blog’ like thing called the Corner. Welcome Folks. Unfortunately, they refuse to call it a blog. So, in order to help them, I have here the top ten reasons why it is not really a blog, at least in the sense that I think of them:

10.) Multiple sentences with polysyllabic terms.
9.) No rants, as of yet.
8.) 3, sometimes 4 sentences in a row without a link.
7.) No Permanent Links, but they are working on it (I emailed them and got a pleasant response from a Mr. Bailey).
6.) 34 posts, and the phrase ‘Yasser Arafat is an unrepentant scum-sucking terrorist’ has not been uttered.
5.) Posts stopped at 5:33 pm. It is 8:10 as I write this, and it appears that the NRO crew prefers food and martinis OVER blogging.
4.) 34 posts, and not one hyperlink to Instapundit, Ken Layne, Matt Welch, or the Opinion Journal (they did link Mark Steyn, so there is hope).
3.) Bill Buckley can not figure out how to connect his Underwood typewriter to the internet.
2.) No link to Natalija at Samizdata.
1.) They are bloggin while, (not instead of) working, and probably already turning a profit.
