Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Bark louder, little dog.

This really is a full service blog.

Infrastructure week. at last.

This fight is for everything.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

This blog will pay for itself.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Let there be snark.

Everybody saw this coming.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

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

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Hans Blix Speaks

And he says Iraq has come up short again:

Blix said in Athens that Iraq had suggested new methods of investigation, including drilling into the ground, to better prove it does not have weapons of mass destruction.

“They themselves suggested new physical signs, new methods of investigating whether material they declared unilaterally destroyed, whether it was actually there. They will be drilling into the ground,” Blix told Reuters.

He rejected European suggestions that more inspectors would help him. “The principal problem is not the number of inspectors but rather the active cooperation of the Iraqi side,” he said.

A very interesting quote, indeed. “The principal problem is not the number of inspectors but rather the active cooperation of the Iraqi side.” Where have you heard that before?

    Are the French really this stupid?”

    No; the British were for believing Americas lies. America invaded Iraq dfor oil; that is all this was ever about, anbd frankly you were pretty gullible to believe otherwise.
