Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

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

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

“woke” is the new caravan.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Books are my comfort food!

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

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

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

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

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

More Evidence

No, Saddam Hussein was not directly responsible for the events of 9/11. But would you fools please quit pretending that SaddamHussein and terrorism have no connextion. Hussein, by definition and practice, is a terrorist. Here is simply some more evidence, not that any is needed:

Saddam Hussein has opened a training camp for Arab volunteers willing to carry out suicide bombings against U.S. forces in case they invade Iraq, Arab media and Iraqi dissidents said Tuesday.

The dissidents, speaking by telephone from Jordan, said scores of Arab volunteers have gone to a special camp run by the Iraqi intelligence service near the town of al-Khalis, 40 miles northeast of Baghdad.

Most of the volunteers are Islamic activists who belong to pan-Arab groups that maintain close ties with Saddam’s regime, the dissidents said on condition of anonymity.

    I’m at a complete loss to see how this makes Saddam a terrorist. Were kamikazes terrorists?

    Saddam, in my view, can’t be called a terrorist, since he is obviously a state actor and his wars on Kuwait and Iran were not terror. He certainly does support Palestinian terror groups. But training suicide anti-invasion troops? What, he should kiss us??

    The US has run a camp for terrorists for many many years. It has been featured on numerous mainstream news shows. But because the terrorists are ones supported by the US (like the Taliban and Saddam used to be) they are called “freedom fighters” or “militia” or whatever. Bloody hypocrites.
