Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

No one could have predicted…

Good lord, these people are nuts.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

All your base are belong to Tunch.

Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.

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

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Republicans in disarray!

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Larry Miller and Proof

Larry Miller has an article on the left and proof that would be rather funny if it were not so tragic:

IN THE COURSE of our adult lives, we all learn lessons about humanity that disappoint us, but, for me, this one has been stunning.

I swear, I cannot fathom the people who insist that Saddam Hussein is not going to merrily kill us and everyone he can reach as soon as he is able. What is it about some people that makes them live in this suicidal denial? I could normally shrug it off, except that now it’s not just suicidal. They’re going to get us all killed, and that makes it homicidal as well.

Go read the whole thing.

This quote about the “No Blood FOr Oil” and “It’s All ABout Oil” crowd is priceless:

Of course, what the “just-about-oilers” mean is that President Bush is going to get a skadillion people killed “just” so he can steal Iraq’s oil; and it may be overstating the obvious, but we don’t do that. The phrase “Spoils of War” is as dead in America as Cotton Mather. In fact, if there’s one thing history has taught us, it’s that the best thing that can ever happen to a country is to go to war with us and lose. This was so obvious after the Second World War that a wonderful satire was made, “The Mouse That Roared,” about a little, impoverished country that decides to declare war on the United States for the express purpose of immediately surrendering and being rebuilt afterwards with foreign aid.

    Larry Miller is the heat. He is the actual author of the “General Hawley speech” that gets emailed around every few months.

    You realize, of course, the statement that Saddam Hussein will merrily kill as many of us and anyone else he can reach as he possibly can is totally nutty.
