Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

This blog will pay for itself.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

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

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

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

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

Something has got to be

Something has got to be done about the ten o’clock time slot on the cable news networks. The choice between Alan Keyes on MSNBC, Greta van Muppet on Fox, and Aaron Brown on CNN is not a choice, really. It is the cable networks saying “$%$@#! you!” Generally, I watch Keyes, but only if I am really alert and remember to turn down the volume during commercials so I do not have to listen to the ‘Alan Keyes is making sense promos.’

Speaking of Alan Keyes, James Zogby was on tonight debating someone, and Zogby came off as a pompous ass apologist. He had the nerve to say that the Israelis were hampering peace, because while the Arab nations were meeting to offer a legitimate peace, Israel was holding down Arafat. I almost fell out of my chair. Check out the transcript tomorrow for a good laugh.

*** Update ***

Now he just filibustered for an apology because someone said something insensitive about his religion.

The incompetence of the Arab/Palestinian handling of Israel is mind-numbing. Do they really think they can ‘spin’ their way into genocide, and we will do nothing? Do they really think anyone with half a barin takes them seriously? Is their really anyone out there (who does not have explosives strapped to themself) who believes that the Arab League is honestly interested in peace with Israel? Seriously? Can anyone even say those words without snickering at how stupid they sound?

Ghaddaffi just called for the unilateral disarmament of Israel (neat trick- since Arafat really isn’t in control of Hamas or Aqsa- Wink, wink), Jordan most recently sided with Saddam Hussein in the Gulf War, Syria is doing their damndest to remove the ‘normalization’ language… Oh never mind. You know all the crap they are pulling.
