Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

I really should read my own blog.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

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

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

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

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

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

Sopranos or the Supreme Court?

Sopranos or the Supreme Court?

The New Jersey Supreme Court unanimously ruled this evening that the state Democratic Party can replace the name of Robert G. Torricelli on the Nov. 5 ballot for United States senator.

“It is in the public interest and the general interest of the election laws to preserve the two-party system and to submit to the electorate ballot bearing the names of candidates of both major political parties as well as of all qualifying parties and groups,” the court ruled.

Laws are for lesser mortals, not Democrats and Supreme Court Justices. It appears that the price of an election in New Jersey has now increased from the 65 million spent by the Junior Senator, John Corzine, by $800,000, which is how much the New Jersey Supreme Court is ordering the Democrats to pay in order to print new ballots.

Like the old joke:

A man asks an attractive girl he has met in a posh bar: ”If I give you $ 1000, will you go to bed with me?” After briefly considering this, she replies: ”Yes, for $ 1000 I think I will.”
So he continues: ”But I don’t have that much money; so will you go to bed with me for $ 20 ?” ”Of course not!” she replies. ”Who do you think I am? What kind of girl do you take me for?” He coolly returns: ”We have already established what kind of girl you are. We are now just haggling over the price.”

We now know what future elections in New Jersey (or anywhere Democrats are losing) will look like. In the future, all they will have to do is haggle for the price.
