Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

Come on, man.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

One way or another, he’s a liar.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

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

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Stand up, dammit!

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

White supremacy is terrorism.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

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

Check Out This Doozy:

MISSING PAUL. And speaking of the so-called bias of the media, no one bothered to report on the memorial service held last night in Washington for Paul and Sheila Wellstone and their daughter and the others who perished in the crash. Perhaps the media didn’t think their readers would appreciate the quiet dignity of the service, or perhaps they were too humbled by those who spoke — David and Mark Wellstone, Colin McGinnis, Marian Wright Edeleman, David Sapertsein and others — and by Paul’s words as read by the Capitol policeman that Paul had befriended, the 5th grader who spoke about Paul’s commitment to children, Senator Domenici — who choked up at retelling his relationship with his unlikely ally — or Senator Daschle, who sounded like he knew that the Democrats had to start speaking in Paul’s voice.
Nah, they wouldn’t have found much to exploit last night. So they didn’t bother to report it.

You get that? The media only reported the first Wellstone funeral in order to exploit Democrats. Not Democrats using the media to exploit the Wellstone funeral. Snicker. So now, the media is to be blamed for catching their childish behavior on film.

Maybe they didn’t cover this one because you guys burned them so bad on the first memorial?

These guys kill me.
