Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

How stupid are these people?

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

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

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

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Republicans do not trust women.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

Yesterday I wrote about the shadow government and predcited an idiotic column by Maureen Dowd. Little did I know how accurate my prediction was going to be. Here is a touch:

In a banner headline on Friday, The Washington Post blared: “Shadow Government Is at Work in Secret.” The article said President Bush had assembled a cadre of officials to operate under the radar, out of the sunlight.

This is news?

The president did that on Jan. 20, 2001.

But it turns out that after Sept. 11, wanting to make sure that everything wouldn’t collapse if there was a nuclear attack on Washington, he did it again. He formed a secret government within a secret government. A shadow of a shadow.

I am sure this will titillate the Prada handbag crowd, but it is just more of the same old innueDowdo we have grown to love. Supposedly witty, unsubstantiated half truths written by a half wit. Dowd is like a canker sore- irritating, annoying, and providing a sharp bursts of pain every now and then. In the end however, she, like the sore, is harmless.
