Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This blog will pay for itself.

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

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

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

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

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

In my day, never was longer.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

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

A Senator Walker would also be an insult to reason, rationality, and decency.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

A New American Hero

And perhaps one day a new American:

New heroes have surfaced in the rescue of U.S. Army Pfc. Jessica Lynch.

Under the watchful eyes of more than 40 murderous gunmen, the 19-year-old supply clerk laid in Saddam Hussein Hospital suffering from at least one gunshot wound and several broken bones.

As her captors discussed amputating her leg, an Iraqi man leaned to her ear and whispered, “Don’t worry.” Lynch replied with a warm smile.

The man was already working with U.S. Marines to gain the critical information needed to rescue one of the first American prisoners of war in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Just a day earlier, the lawyer from An Nasiryah had walked 10 kilometers to inform American forces he knew where Lynch was being held.

Go read the whole story about how this brave Iraqi helped to save PFC Lynch’s life. I’d vote for him before I would vote for Kerry.
