Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

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

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

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

We will not go back.

The words do not have to be perfect.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

American history and black history cannot be separated.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

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

Second rate reporter says what?

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

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

Their freedom requires your slavery.

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

You can always count on

You can always count on the Ms. Dowd to take a cheap shot at Bush whenever she can. She spent an entire column sniping that Bush works out too much. Check out this gem:

Why does the leader of the free world, a man with limitless opportunities for stimulation, seem to get really jazzed only when he can run his 6:45 miles?

Does it ever occur to Mr. Bush and his aides to vacate the gym and nail down a Middle East policy?

The president was scheduled to deliver a speech on the Middle East to tell us how he would help stop the cycle of violence there. But then, after another bombing in Israel, he postponed it. If he’s supposed to have a plan to stop the killing, why let the killing stop the plan?

Nothing ever forces W. to postpone his daily workout, even when a gunman shot up the White House lawn one morning at 11:30 a.m. while he was on the treadmill, or when the Supreme Court met on the deadlocked presidential election.

She still can not get used to the fact that he is President. What a loser she is, and how can the Times continue to pay her when this is the best she can do?
