Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

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

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

Joe Lieberman disappointingly reemerged to remind us that he’s still alive.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

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

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

This really is a full service blog.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Not all heroes wear capes.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Aung San Suu Kyi

This might work:

Japan, Myanmar’s largest donor, froze all financial aid to the country on Wednesday to punish its military government for detaining pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

Japan appears to be rethinking its policy of engaging the junta in a dialogue with promises of aid — unlike the United States, the European Union and Britain, which have already imposed sanctions to press for Suu Kyi’s freedom.

Also Wednesday, U.N. special envoy Razali Ismail, the only outsider to see Suu Kyi since her arrest more than three weeks ago, said U.N. officials are “increasingly alarmed” about the government’s refusal to release her.

I hope she is still alive.
