Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

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

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Good lord, these people are nuts.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

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

This blog will pay for itself.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Paging NOW AS MORE than

Paging NOW

AS MORE than 80 young women arrived amid great fanfare in the Nigerian capital to take part in the Miss World contest, an illiterate 31-year-old woman sat in a stark room a few miles away contemplating a very different fate. Amina Lawal has been sentenced to death by stoning.

Isn’t this an issue that the National Organization for Women should be on like ugly on an ape? You would think so, but other than a press release, not a peep from the NOW gang, as they have much more heady issues to tackle. Weighty, deep issues, with much more urgency, like:

Trying to force Augusta National to admit womyn members.

Combatting the Bush/Cheney “weapon of mass distraction” by stepping up voter mobilization for 2004.

Promoting accurate and diverse portrayals of womyn and girls in the media.

Keeping on top of judicial nominations.

A full plate, indeed. The tragic thing is that NOW will probably spend more time and energy fighting the swimsuit portion of the Miss World contest than they will fighting for Amina Lawal. Maybe if they just pretend that Miss Lawal is a fetus, they can then live with themselves.
