Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

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

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

He really is that stupid.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

The revolution will be supervised.

Joe Lieberman disappointingly reemerged to remind us that he’s still alive.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

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

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

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

Mail Call: Got a couple

Mail Call:

Got a couple of them that were pretty much hate mail, which is always fun. I will go through some of the issues addressed:

1.) To the reader who said I was a bigot because I said that we should throw very religious people to the lions, I would like to direct you to this sight. You will find a full discussion of what quotations are, and when they are used. After you check up on that, please re-read the offending piece here. You should note that I was quoting P.J. O’Rourke, and those were not my words. True, I may have tricked you by using italics instead of quotation marks, and for that I am sorry.

2.) To the drooling idiot who thinks I have ‘no f*****g compassion’ because I want the terrorists to starve themselves to death and then be thrown to the sharks, I would like to point out that what I do not have in compassion, I make up for in my sense of humor. What is funny, you say? These thugs spend five years beating, torturing, and starving the population in Afghanistan, and then when captured and treated like royalty by our servicemen, they decide to starve themselves to death. That is funny, and at least they are consistent. And, I might add, so our European friends don’t become all agitated, it is their right to kill themselves. We wouldn’t want to abuse their rights.

3.) My favorite reader comment to date: “Go polish your jackboots swastika-boy.”

Regular posting will resume when I finish laughing.
