Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let’s finish the job.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

T R E 4 5 O N

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

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

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

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

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

You cannot shame the shameless.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Hot air and ill-informed banter

New York Times Financial Watch,

New York Times Financial Watch, Day 4

After either ignoring the dramatic increases in the DOW the last three days (8%, roughly 800 points), or doing everything they could to portray the gains as negatively as possible, the NY Times has this headline on the front page:

Stocks Struggle After 3 Days of Strong Rallies

I am simply numb with disbelief. They downplay enormous gains for three days, and then, on a day when the DOW has either been only down 50 pts or up 50 pts (current status, up 33 pts), the NY Times labels run of the mill activity as STRUGGLING?

Let’s go through this again. When the market gains, say nothing or lie. When it stays close to the open or declines, have BIG, GLARING HEADLINES with the words ‘sharp,’ or ‘struggle,’ or ‘sell-off.’

The gray lady is a joke. These people are nothing more than partisan hacks.
