Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

This really is a full service blog.

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

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Decision time: keep arguing about the last election, or try to win the next one?

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

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Fucking consultants! (of the political variety)

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Hot air and ill-informed banter

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Their shamelessness is their super power.

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

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

“But what about the lurkers?”

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

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

Finding joy where we can, and muddling through where we can’t.

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

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

60 Minute Hacks

The Instapundit’s description of the 60 Minutes piece on ballistic fingerprinting is 100% accurate. My response was much less polite, and much more straightforward, and it involved an f-word.

I usually love 60 Minutes, so it bothers me when they get a story this wrong- how the hell am I supposed to trust them on other issues?

    A LOT of people haven’t trusted them for many years; way too many slanted stories in pursuit of political posture.
