Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

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

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

White supremacy is terrorism.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

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

The words do not have to be perfect.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

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

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

Not all heroes wear capes.

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

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

Paging Joseph Biden

In the opening of his State of the State speech, Gov. Gray Davis used the same ideas and many of the same words that President Clinton used in his first State of the Union address — a similarity so striking that it prompted charges Thursday of plagiarism.

In his speech, seen by many as the most important of his career, Davis on Wednesday echoed themes Clinton had outlined 10 years earlier: In both cases, the politicians said the ailing economy demanded their full attention and that only a united effort could rescue the economy from its doldrums.

Davis even repeated one sentence verbatim. Referring to the economies of the United States in 1993 and California in 2003, both said, “But these are not ordinary times.”

Steve Maviglio, Davis’ spokesman, declined to comment. The governor’s speech writer, Jason Kinney, dismissed the parallels as an “accidental homage.”

Hey- cut him some slack. What is a little perjury plagiarism amongst friends?

*** UPDATE ***

Joe Arrieta, who is no right winger, SAVAGES Davis in a post in the must-read Political State Report. Who exactly voted for this guy?

Joe states emphatically:
