Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Bark louder, little dog.

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

Come on, man.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

Stay strong, because they are weak.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

Hot air and ill-informed banter

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

You would normally have to try pretty hard to self-incriminate this badly.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Not much to post about

Not much to post about this weekend. Other than causing quite a stir for attacking the faux civil rights leaders in previous posts, not much has been happening. I have found out that it does not matter what your actual political positions are, if you disagree with the left on ANY issue you are a conservative. Period. Nothing, it seems, is more sacred than the hallowed ground of moral outrage on race issues that Democrats seem to believe that they have a stranglehold on, so questioning them will open you to charges of racism, mean-spiritedness, being a hack, a Dixiecrat, an unreconstructed redneck, a fascist, etc. And then there are the four letter words. Kind of amusing, actually. Bob Novak may act and look like the Prince of Darkness, and Ann Coulter may be shrill and irritating at times, but it becomes clearer and clearer that the true left is the real home of name-calling, ugliness, and unhappiness. I just can not believe how miserable most of these people are, and how awful they really think the world is. It is also amusing how they assign the worst intentions and motives to ANYTHING anyone does or says. Quite odd, really. And the guilt by association thing they seem to base everything on is really rather odd and inconsistent with what they claim their beliefs really are.

At any rate, a slow week-end for news (Yglesias has some worthwhile links to the elections in Kenya), and there were a number of important NFL and College Bowl games to watch. The Steelers won, which is nice, but it did not earn them a BYE as the Titans beat the Texans. Oh well.
