Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Second rate reporter says what?

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

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

No one could have predicted…

You can’t love your country only when you win.

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

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Not all heroes wear capes.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Sucking the Life out of Everyone

Hillary Clinton released her book, Living History, and it is all anyone is talking about. Remember this Susan Estrich statement:

”Could somebody please tell these people to shut up?” Estrich implored in a column that, though little circulated by mainstream newspapers, received wide coverage by top radio talker Rush Limbaugh and Fox News Channel’s ”Hannity & Colmes.”

”The Clintons suck up every bit of the available air,” the one-time Dukakis campaign manager complained. ”Nothing is left for anyone else. They are big, too big. That’s the problem.”.

Many of you laughed and dismissed her. Quick- without thinking. What is the name of Sidney Blumenthal’s book?

Thought so.

    Yet, the Clinton Wars is #25 on Amazon’s bestseller list. Guess those silly Americans are still reading it, eh? Most of us Democrats can handle reading two books at a time.

    Blumenthal fell out of the NYT top 10 in the second week, prior to the release of Hillary’s book. #25 isn’t exactly a triumph when you got a lot of attention from talk show apperarances, etc. and when Ann Coulter is beating you with a book that isn’t even out yet, based solely from a mention on Hannity (Coulter currently 28th, was at 11th after Hannity mention; Blumenthal is down to 59th even after Daily Show appearance).

    Blumenthal is reportedly off the list altogether.

    Currently, The Clinton Wars is #84 on Amazon.com.

    Ann Coulter’s UNRELEASED book has already surpassed it.
