Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

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

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

So many bastards, so little time.

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

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

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

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

The revolution will be supervised.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

The More I Read

The more I read, the less convinced I am that Scott Peterson killed his wife. Statistics alone would lead me to believe he is guilty, and I still think there is no way in hell he will get a fair trial. We shall see.

    John, I fail to see why Jerilyn’s comments should cause you to change your opinion of the Peterson case.

    I agree with Robin. There’s nothing fishy or particularly worrying about the wire tap that might jeopardize the prosecution’s case. Unless of course they did listen in on privileged conversations with his attorney. In which case evidence discovered as a result of that tap might be inadmissable at trial. But that still doesn’t effect the facts of the case. Why does TalkLeft’s post cause you doubt that wasn’t already there?

    It wasn’t those particular comments. It was just everything added up- I still think he is guilty, but I get the feeling he is being railroaded.

    Be cautious John, Jerilyn sometimes mixes up what the law is as opposed to what she thinks it ought to be.
