Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

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

All your base are belong to Tunch.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

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

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Their freedom requires your slavery.

This blog will pay for itself.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

The Groucho Marx Party

Sen. Robert Byrd, in the well (not the sewer well, which would have been fitting for the former Klansmen) of the Senate, on 6 May:

“To me, it is an affront to the Americans killed or injured in Iraq for the President to exploit the trappings of war for the momentary spectacle of a speech.”

and

“I believe that our military forces deserve to be treated with respect and dignity, and not used as stage props to embellish a presidential speech.”

Have the Democrats become the Grouch Marx Party? Who are we to believe? The left-wing, or our lying eyes?


The faces of sheer exploitation. It makes me want to cry, they look so abused. How dare Bush?

    Wonder how many military ballots Byrd’s party will try to have thrown out in ’04?

    …and G.W. said, “Jobs, boys, don’t you worry about no jobs. There always be work for you here with me in the White House.”

    Hmmm, Durbin must think that those sailors enlisted because of the Clinton recession.
