Balloon Juice - I lied. My connection is

I lied. My connection is better. Check out this great skewering of the chowderheads who wrote in the Guardian last month. Way to go, Will Warren.

Good ladies, sirs, fear not: your names will stand
Forever where you choose: amid the band
That shy away from this, your nation’s fight:
Your hands are clean, your consciences are light.

Dear sirs and ladies, consciences like yours
Should not be marred by nasty things like wars,
But polished and preserved above the fray,
Forever just as spotless as today.

You mark your course with certainty and pride,
You trumpet setting base concerns aside,
You see your moral duty clear: to flee
The messy work that keeps your nation free.

The raids prevented, bombers caught or killed,
Will not be in your names, as you have willed.
Your names will not be carved on honored wall,
But lie forever in some different hall.

Go read the whole thing.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

The revolution will be supervised.

This blog will pay for itself.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

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

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

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