Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Consistently wrong since 2002

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

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

Good lord, these people are nuts.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

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

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

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.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

This WaPo article claims Bush wants up to $95 billion for the war in Iraq. According to Drudge, that breaks down to $320.00 per citizen.
