Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This really is a full service blog.

No one could have predicted…

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

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

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Europeans in Our Midst?

Francis Fukuyama presented a speech that has been widely linked in the blogosphere. It was a balanced an interesting piece, but several parts stood out:

Robert Kagan, in a brilliant recent article in Policy Review, (3) put the current difference between the United States and Europe as follows. The Europeans are the ones who actually believe they are living at the end of history, that is, in a largely peaceful world that to an increasing degree can be governed by law, norms, and international agreements. In this world, power politics and classical realpolitik have become obsolete. Americans, by contrast, think they are still living in history, and need to use traditional power-political means to deal with threats from Iraq, al-Qaeda, and other malign forces. According to Kagan, the Europeans are half right: they have indeed created an end-of-history world for themselves within the European Union, where sovereignty has given way to supranational organisation.
