Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

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

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

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

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

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

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

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

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Is trump is trying to break black America over his knee? signs point to ‘yes’.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Y. Arafat, terrorist: Palestinians say

Y. Arafat, terrorist:

Palestinians say that Yasir Arafat, their leader, has issued no order in recent days to stop the terror attacks and probably could not enforce one in any case. Numerous Palestinians, in interviews today, showed no remorse for the Israelis injured and killed in today’s attacks. The opposite, in fact.

Which is what I have been saying all along. Arafat either can not or will not stop the violence. Put a bullet in him.

This suggests that, even if General Zinni succeeds in bringing about a cease-fire among the Israeli and Palestinian leaders, Mr. Arafat will have a difficult time bringing along the rank and file even among his own supporters. Numerous other Palestinians, in Islamic Jihad, Hamas and other militant movements, hold no allegiance to Mr. Arafat and his agreements.

Today’s attack, “boosted the morale of our people,” said Iyhab, a Palestinian gunmen who declined to give his full name, echoing the sentiments of numerous people interviewed here this afternoon. He was referring to the gunman who opened fire in the central Israeli town of Kfar Saba this afternoon, killing a schoolgirl.

Which also proves what I have been saying all along. They (the Palestinans and their supporters) will not stop until every Jew is dead and Israel does not exist.

Is this really so hard for people to understand? I agree the Jewish settlerments must stop, but is it not now crystal clear to everyone what is going on in the region? Bush better not go wobbly on Israel, and someone please muzzle Colin Powell.

    John Cole, you are a despicable person filled with hate. So what is Arafat is incapable of reining in the militants? Put a bullet in him?? you say that so nonchalantly, you don’t seem to have value for human life. Are you Jewish? If you were i’d understand. Isn’t somewhere in your ‘scriptures’ that a life of a non-Jew isn’t worth the fingernail of a Jew?? Following these kind of corrupted religious teachings is what makes you people (Jewish Fundamentalist extremist hate filled terrorists, such as yourself, John) so evil.

    The world would be better rid off your hate filled kind. Rest assured, it’s not gonna happen now, but when the Messiah comes. Jesus the Messiah will come and kick all your evil butts, you and your master, the False Messiah who will rule from the throne of David (thereby deceiving your misguided kind). The stage is about to be set for your Divine punisment…Repent while you still can and while God will still accept it.
