Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Everybody saw this coming.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Books are my comfort food!

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

Giving up is unforgivable.

Second rate reporter says what?

An almost top 10,000 blog!

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

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

No one could have predicted…

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

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

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

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

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

White House Rebukes Israel for Attack, Calls It ‘Heavy-Handed’

President Bush issued one of his sharpest rebukes against Israel today, denouncing as “heavy-handed” the attack that killed a Hamas leader and expressing regret over “the loss of innocent life.”

“This heavy-handed action does not contribute to peace,” said the president’s chief spokesman, Ari Fleischer. “This message will be conveyed to Israeli authorities, and the United States regrets the loss of life.”

At least 14 other people, including several children, were killed in the missile attack that killed Salah Shehadeh, a founder and the top commander of Hamas’s military wing. Scores of others were wounded.

I feel awful about the tragedy that occurred in regards to the innocent children, and I am sure that this will be a major piece of propoganda for the anti-Israel crowd. I do not excuse the action, but I have a hard time believing the death of innocents was intentional.

The larger message, though, should be: “Hang out with murdering, terrorist thugs who spend their entire lives plotting and fomenting violence against innocents, and you might end up dead.” I can live with that message, and I hope some of the Hamas scum take it to heart.
