Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

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

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

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

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Republicans in disarray!

This fight is for everything.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

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.
