Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Books are my comfort food!

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

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

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

Their shamelessness is their super power.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

Let The Loony Left Keep Talking

Nothing discredits the extreme anti-war left like, well, the extreme anti-war left.

All right libs, using your most condescending voice, one last time, in unison:

“What about the War on Terror?”

“Where is Osama?”

“We can’t handle Iraq while Osama is still out there.”

“Iraq is distracting us from the perpetrators of 9/11.”

Got it out of your system? Yeah, yeah, yeah, protesting is patriotic, blah, blah, blah (Why is obnoxious dissent the only patriotic act the fringe left enjoys engaging in?). Howard Dean, you obnoxious suckhole, what is your message going to be now?

Go read this and shut up for an hour, at least:


ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) – Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks in the United States, was arrested Saturday in Pakistan, a senior Pakistan government source told The Associated Press.

Mohammed, who is on the FBI’s most wanted list, was among three people arrested in Rawalpindi, near the Pakistani capital of Islamabad, the official said.

U.S. officials regard Mohammed as a key al-Qaida lieutenant and organizer of the terror mission that sent hijacked passenger jets crashing into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field, killing more than 3,000 people.

Mohammed, 37, has not been charged in the Sept. 11 attacks, but he has been charged in a 1995 terror plot. He is one of the FBI’s most-wanted terror suspects, and the U.S. government is offering up to $25 million for information leading to his capture.

I guess we aren’t distracted now, are we.

*** Update ***

How is the loony left going to react? They simply won’t mention Mohammed’s arrest. Not one peep from Atrios– you know we can’t say anything good about this administration now, don’t you…

    “(Why is obnoxious dissent the only patriotic act the left enjoys engaging in?).”

    I suggest this needs — badly — the modifier “extremist left.” Otherwise, respectfully, you are insulting the patriotism of millions of people who regard themselves as on the left who are quite happy to profess their love of country and engage in numerous other acts of patriotism other than dissent.

    This is important to remember and acknowledge, if you don’t want to be indulging in the flip version of what you are rightfully condemning as the demonization of Bush and co.

    You are correct- and it has been corrected.

    BTW- I loved your piece on video games yesterday (or was it the day before). Glad you commented here and jogged my memory/
