Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Petty moves from a petty man.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

So many bastards, so little time.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

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

Come on, man.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

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

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

Tapped Out

by John Cole|  March 6, 20037:53 am| 2 Comments

This post is in: General Stupidity

Why anyone would believe the shoddy thinking over at Tapped is beyond me. It is near impossible to find a ‘professional’ web site that is so consistently wrong. For your reading pleasure today, Robert Musil discussing why the hacks at Tapped don’t understand what an economist is, and then a post by Steve Verdon explaining that Tapped’s fawning praise for an Atrios piece is undeserved and evidence that neither understand markets.

Have fun.

    My biggest gripe about TAPPED has to be the anonymous posting. It’s gutless to write something for the public if you’re not going to stand behind it.

    Ah, venting. I feel relaxed now.
