Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

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

Tick tock motherfuckers!

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

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

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

White supremacy is terrorism.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

After roe, women are no longer free.

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

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

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

It’s the corruption, stupid.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

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

CONGRATS to our northern neighbors

CONGRATS to our northern neighbors the Canadians for their sound defeat of the US in the gold medal game. This breaks a 50 year drought for the Canadians, and I am really happy for them.

I know some people have a little bet going, notably Damian and Pejman, but I just could not whip up the enthusiasm for the rivalry. For one thing, as a die-hard Penguins fan, how do I root against Mario Lemieux? Despite all of Jean Chretien’s attempts to make the Canadian government as obnoxious towards the US as the EU, I can not make an-us-them rivalry with Canada. it just isn’t there. When I think of the ‘Us’ in an us/them relationship, Canadians are on the Us side of the equation in my mind.

*** NOTE***

If Damian will teach me how to insert pictures, I will gladly fly the Canadian flag in their honor.
