Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

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

In my day, never was longer.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

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

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

… gradually, and then suddenly.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

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

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

This headline says it all about our friends at the Guardian:

US Nuclear Attack on Hiroshima Paved the Way for September 11 and Its Aftermath

The whole article deserves a sound Fisking, but the opening paragraph is particularly odious:

Now that the number of innocent civilian victims killed collaterally in Afghanistan by the US bombardments is equal to the number killed in the attack on the Twin Towers, we can perhaps place the events in a larger, but not less tragic perspective, and face a new question: is it more evil or reprehensible to kill deliberately than to systematically kill blindly? (Systematically because the same logic of US armed strategy began with the Gulf war.) I don’t know the answer to the question. On the ground, among the cluster bombs dropped by B52s or the stifling smoke in Church Street, Manhattan, perhaps ethical judgments cannot be comparative.

There you have it- Moral equivocation, reliance on dubious statistics, and a mixture of conjecture and dubious false truths. Didn’t someone already debunk the Marc Herold civilian casualty claims?

Oh yeah. That can be found here.

Repeat a lie often enough…

The rest of the article should be read at your own risk. Damn jackals.
