Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

White supremacy is terrorism.

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

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

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Bark louder, little dog.

This really is a full service blog.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

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

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

No one could have predicted…

Hot air and ill-informed banter

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

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

I really should read my own blog.

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

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

George Bush is about to

George Bush is about to make the second-worst mistake in his young Presidency (the first being his refusal to tell Congress to pound salt and that there was NO WAY IN HELL he would sign CFR). According to Reuters reports, our President is about to levy 30% tariffs on imported steel for up to three years, in a blatant act of patronage and political cynicism.

Note to Bush- Protectionism does not work. This will only prop up an industry that should have long ago gone bankrupt because of its inability to compete in a global market. Instead of going bankrupt, being bought out, and letting those assets be used by a responsible, productive entity, they will now be protected, choke and wheeze along on life-support for a couple more years, and cause retaliation from every other nation so that every American can pay more for imported products. Good thinking, boys.

And before someone fires back that our competitors are propped up by their government, let me remind you that they are SOCIALISTS, and that is one of the annoying things that they do.
