Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

The willow is too close to the house.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

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

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

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

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

“But what about the lurkers?”

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

Come on, man.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Worldcom is going to be

Worldcom is going to be a mess, and I expect Democrats to attempt to smear Republicans with this ‘big business’ tie like they attempted to do so with Enron. According to Opensecrets.org, the donations are as follows:

Since 1/31/01:

The National Republican Congressional Committee has received $ 15,700.00.
The Republican National State Election Committee has received $ 45,000.00.
The 2001 Presidential dinner fund received $ 100,000.00.

The Democratic National Committee received $ 50,000.00
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee received $ 50, 250.00

Pretty even, except the 100k donation to the dinner- not sure what that money is used for- perhaps a more sophisticated reader will have that info. I am still willing to bet that Senate Democrats will be the most vocal.
