Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

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

Our messy unity will be our strength.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

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

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

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

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

Republicans in disarray!

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

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

All hail the time of the bunny!

Before everyone feels the need

Before everyone feels the need to email me about this, let me make clear that I think Andrea Yates is guilty. My problem is with the law. I think she is guilty, but I also think she is clearly INSANE. Her guilt should be duly noted, and then she should spend the rest of her life in a mental facility. I do not think a lifetime in jail/the death penalty or freedom via insanity defense are the only options that should be available.

As I stated at Protein Wisdom, I think it is as morally indefensible to execute an insane individual as it is to execute a mentally reatrded individual.
