Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

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

In my day, never was longer.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Infrastructure week. at last.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

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

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

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

The revolution will be supervised.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Bark louder, little dog.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Why I Read Blogs, Part 9,000,726

Because the members of ‘mainstream media’ are blithering idiots (no offense to William Sulik). I get home from work, turn the television on, and it is on MSNBC. I pay attention for thirty seconds, and my blood begins to boil.

The debate du jour is between anti-spanking and pro-spanking advocates, and the debate has been sparked by the Madelyne Toogood case.

Earth to the media and to anti-spanking advocates. Madelyne Toogood was not spanking her child, she was assaulting her. She was beating her. It was BATTERY. For anti-spanking advocates to even draw parallels to this is obscene. This dumber than the morons at handgun Control, Inc. using the war on terror to push for more gun legislation.

And as for the media. Oh, who cares. The fact that they even thought to invite these guests in relation to the Toogood beating shows you how stupid they are. Grrr.
