Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This really is a full service blog.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

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

In after Baud. Damn.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

He imagines himself as The Big Bad, Who Is Universally Feared… instead of The Big Jagoff, Who Is Universally Mocked.

This blog will pay for itself.

We still have time to mess this up!

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

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

So many bastards, so little time.

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

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Glad to see john eastman going through some things.

Not all heroes wear capes.

No Justins, No Peace

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

Republicans in disarray!

New Casualty Numbers? The Oxford

New Casualty Numbers?

The Oxford Research Group has a briefing paper titled ‘A Never-Ending War? Consequences of September 11.’ In this briefing, we learn that one of the problems following 9/11 is the assertion that:

More innocent lives may have been lost in Afghanistan than on September 11 (between 2-8,000 deaths).

So much for Herold’s statistics. Now there may be 8,000 civilian casualties (I am assuming that is what an innocent life is).

The whole thing is just a disgusting rehash of all the same bizarre complaints from the root cause anti-war crowd.

“Little attempt made to understand the motivations for the September 11 attacks, or to see them as part of a longer-term strategy”.

Yawn.

    I found this site in a “war casualty numbers” search. I am numbly sitting here after considering ALL the wartime casualties in the 20th century alone. After just beginning to grasp the astronomical number of dead, I dont even want to consider the amount of families and loved ones affected. With that total war casualty rate in mind while considering the worldwide population boom, this current “skirmish” we’re having isnt going to be a dent in historical comparisons. Humans are civilized apes, but we still possess animal traits. Our struggle for freedom, land, power, money, or “religious” beliefs is going to plague mankind for eternity. Funny how nothing has been used as an excuse for killing more people in history than “God”, or whatever name you prefer to use. I can understand being zealous in your trying to understand the unknown, but can you please come up with a less destructive reason? Thank you
    Unless you’re part of the 1% of the population in charge, then I say “You’re Welcome”.
