Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Come on, man.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

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

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

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

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

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

After roe, women are no longer free.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

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

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Seems like I have missed

Seems like I have missed a lot in the last few days when I was brought to my knees by some awful flu. A quick recap, and then on to some original posts:

A.) Lileks is a genius, but you already knew that if you have come here before. I love Mr. Lileks, and this takedown of some jackass Eurotrash writer is one of the most linked things in the history of the web. It is a must-read.

B.) Ken Layne is a genius, and should be the new editor of Slate. This point-by-point factual evisceration of the scummy recording industry is simply more proof of the obvious need for him to be a top editor of something.

BTW- Thanks for all the get well e-mails.
